2. NFSN Coffee Chat: How Do We Feed Our Communities?
May 27 // 3-4:00pm ET
To achieve a just and equitable food system, we have to take action against racial inequities in the ways food is distributed and the ways our communities are fed. Join us for a coffee chat conversation on Facebook Live with Krystal Oriadha, National Farm to School Network Senior Director of Programs & Policy, and Asata Reid, chef, author, and health educator, for a discussion about food access, food affordability and food equity. Chef Asata will also share about her new book, “How to Feed a Kid: a Parent’s Guide,” and how parents can navigate the nuances of feeding children from birth to adulthood. Everyone eats, and everyone can play a role in shifting power in the food system! RSVP here to join live or to watch the recording later.
