What's For Dinner?

Food + Justice + Democracy - Fall IATP Conference models food justice work.

The show offers conversations from the Sept 2012 Minneapolis Food + Justice = Democracy conference organized by La Donna Redmond and Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Speakers describe doing unusual self-reflection and believe it was different from any other US food system meeting - starting with the way plenaries all concerned the experience of people of color. The show conveys the careful planning involved and how attendees felt what they experienced here may offer leverage for that core, very hard work.
