Food is an essential part of our lives but often we overlook the implications that our food choices have on our health, the health of our communities, local economies, and the planet. Learn how you can support local food growers and how food access is an essential part of achieving food sovereignty and combating climate change.
In anticipation of the upcoming growing and farmers market season, Plant Chicago turns to our local food systems and the work being done within the southside to galvanize communities of color that are often lacking in resources, support and investment. We'll be sitting down with southside food producers, and agents of change within the food access landscape: Dulce Morales-Cedillo, owner and farmer of Cedillo's Fresh Produce and vendor at Plant Chicago's farmers market; Ashley and Gyasi Sutherland, owners and farmers of HEIRS Farm, and Indoor Victory Garden community partners; Stef Funk, Communications Specialist at Chicago Food Policy and Action Council and the creator of Plant Chicago's ongoing Local Produce Box program, formerly the Link Produce Box. Register for this discussion on Thursday, 5/20, 12 - 1pm.
