The day before, on October 29 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm, join us for a webinar on Justice & Equity in Food & Agriculture. Karli A. Moore (Lumbee), PhD Candidate in Environment and Resources, and Jocelyn Breeland, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer for Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE) will discuss the issues around food/agricultural security and equity that the communities they are working with are facing.
Karli A. Moore (Lumbee), PhD
Moving Towards Indigenous Food Sovereignty – Indigenous communities and Tribal nations sharing borders with the United States are working hard to create healthy, thriving food systems. Unfortunately, structural, economic, and societal barriers make it difficult to exercise food sovereignty. We'll talk about a number of pressing issues and folks working for solutions.
Karli A. Moore grew up on a family farm near Prospect, NC, and aspires to advance food sovereignty and economic development for Native peoples through sustainable agriculture.
Jocelyn Breeland
Black Farmers: Together Toward Justice and Equity – In this session, Jocelyn Breeland will outline the Black Farmers Initiative, the discrimination Black farmers still face today, and the ways the initiative is successfully advancing toward equity and justice.
Jocelyn is a member of the 2023 and 2024 Stanford IDEAL Honor Rolls. She is also an alumna of Stanford University, with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. She and her full-service, in-house team support R&DE by developing and implementing strategic plans to engage campus audiences, promote the many services R&DE provides for the campus, and share the results of groundbreaking R&DE research and innovation, such as the Black Farmers Initiative.
