Food production is one of the leading drivers of climate change. Illusions of endless abundance and immediate service have distorted our relationship to food, dissolved local food systems, generated excess waste, and led to unequal access to affordable, healthy food. And yet, food systems are ripe with possibilities for solutions that simultaneously improve health and equity while curbing climate change. How can Wisconsinites draw from our tradition as an agricultural state to support an increasingly just and sustainable future? Join this panel discussion featuring food system experts to investigate solutions-based action.
