Every aspect of our food systems is affected by climate. How we get our food, where it comes from, what we eat, whose work ensures that food is available in the first place—are all also issues of justice. In this conversation, panelists will discuss food at the intersection of climate and inequality, including food access and sustainability; farmworkers’ rights; prospects for agricultural regeneration; and more. Like all of the Climate Museum’s programs, Talking Climate: Food aims to create ground for community-building, democratic engagement, and civic action on the climate crisis.

This panel, moderated by Climate Museum director Miranda Massie, includes: Tony Hillery, Founder and Executive Director of Harlem Grown; Arcenio J. López, Executive Director of Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project; Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig, Senior Research Scientist at The Earth Institute at Columbia University and at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. With a reading by the celebrated poet Dr. Craig Santos Perez.
