Virtual Rural Child Hunger Summit: Session 1 - Racial Equity and Community Resilience in Food Systems, Policy, and Program Delivery

How can communities best organize to build just and sustainable food systems? What structural and historic racial inequities are at play that perpetuate hunger and poverty, and how can federal programs intended to serve those in need be more racially equitable in their design and implementation? Hear from two leading thinkers as they engage in conversation around the connection between racial equity and justice in our food system, social safety net, and society at large.
