SUMMIT OBJECTIVE
To offer the audience various insights into the human relationship with food and how our systems in northern Arizona affect this connection, both positively and negatively. How food gets from farms and fields to our dinner tables varies significantly across regions. Therefore, we should consider the unique histories, challenges, diets, and cultures surrounding food.
The Summit will focus on the hunger crisis impacting northern Arizonans and food justice solutions.
