Food sovereignty and the right to food in urban contexts
-
Power relations, inequality, and access within urban food systems

Informal food networks, care practices, and everyday food economies

And more!
Who Attended?

These conversations contributed to imagining more just, resilient, and inclusive food systems in cities, while strengthening the shared learning ground of the Urban Roots project.
