Greater New Haven Community Events Calendar

Moderated by Vetiveah Immanuel, Founder & Owner of Radiance Gardens and Founding Member of Liberated Land Cooperative, the discussion will explore how the data around wealth and health disparities is underpinned by systemic barriers to nourishing, culturally resonate and place-based food. Panelists will unpack these barriers and the ways in which they contribute to the unprecedented levels of food insecurity in Connecticut. 

Food insecurity is a complex issue with several interrelated factors. Communities most impacted are leading the way with effective systemic solutions as they strengthen connectivity, build trusted relationships and foster a collective vision towards food as a human right. Panelists will share their experience and knowledge around what a just, equitable and nourishing food system means through the lens of policy, health, narrative and grassroots organizing.
