Food System Inequality Town Hall

Inequality: Town Halls for Educational Innovation, a two year project funded by the Evergreen Fund for Innovation, is designed to bring together a wide range of students, staff, faculty and members of the Olympia community to hold ongoing forums on the unprecedented rise in income and wealth inequality that characterizes U.S. society.  The focus of this quarter’s activity is on inequality in the food system, and is being organized by students and faculty in the academic program Food: Coevolution, Community and Sustainability. Our goals are to build on the success of last quarter’s Town Hall on the topic of student debt, and to facilitate conversations and the identification of solutions to address food system inequality at the campus, community, national and global levels.
