Greetings all,

Please see information below regarding the next webinar on “Promoting
Equity in Local Food Systems through Cooperative Extension” which will
happen on Wednesday September 6th from 12-1 PST; 3-4 EST. We are
co-llaborating on this webinar with the Community Local and Regional Food
Systems Community of Practice.

This critical work is relevant and beneficial for all of us doing work in
the agricultural and food systems-related fields whether rural, urban,
sub-urban, coastal or land-locked – because there is no agriculture without
culture. We must acknowledge the impact of social systems upon our work –
and ways we can navigate these social systems to undo the oppression that
continues to this day. The learning, teaching and doing of these systems
and processes is incomplete/un-whole without an investigation of race,
class, gender, power and privilege and how they continue to manifest and
how people in and with extension are able to overcome these tremendous and
often fear-inducing obstacles. I encourage you to share this opportunity
with your colleagues, students, friends and family members and your
neighbors – this is a conversation everyone should be a part of.

Mark your calendars. Hope you can make it! Please see the message from Lucy
Diekman below for more details. I will be sending reminders as we get
closer to the date.

In solidarity,

Dear colleagues,

Please join us for an eXtension CoP Community, Local, and Regional Food
System webinar
<https://zoom.us/webinar/register/aaca61732cf61b6766858a512be5123a>.

*Promoting equity in local food systems through Cooperative Extension*

*When: Wednesday, September 6, 12 - 1 pm Pacific Time/3 - 4 pm Eastern Time*

How can we apply equity and anti-racism principles to our food system work?
In answer to this question, this webinar provides three examples from the
Cooperative Extension System of efforts to promote equity and undo racism
in local food systems. These examples from North Carolina, Michigan, and
Pennsylvania offer a range of experiences and strategies.

Kaitlin Wojciak, from Michigan State University Extension, will describe a
recent training and learning group dedicated to exploring issues of power,
privilege, and racial equity for the state’s Community Food Systems team.
Shorlette Ammons, from North Carolina’s Center for Environmental Farming
Systems, will discuss the Center’s efforts to embed an equity lens and
practice into all areas of its work. Heather Manzo, from Penn State
Extension, will describe work with an urban food policy council to engage
diverse community members and positively impact equity issues in the
metropolitan food system.

Please join our speakers to discuss how these equity initiatives have
evolved, the challenges they have faced, and the supportive factors that
contributed to the success of their efforts. This webinar is put on by the
working group on Undoing Inequality in the Food System and the Sustainable
Agriculture Education Association.
