Zero Hunger Pathways Project Dialogue 6

Power and privilege are entrenched in our food system, especially as it relates to food insecurity. Systems of charity and benevolence hold power in place, maintaining a system of need as opposed to affecting the root causes of hunger. In this session, Camryn Smith of Communities in Partnership and Jen Zuckerman of the Duke World Food Policy Center will discuss the negative impacts of charity on Black and Brown communities and how to shift power through relationship to affect substantive change.

Open to all, this event aims to bring together anyone in the food research and academic community interested in food system work with communities

This 1-hour virtual event will include a presentation from researchers from the World Food Policy Center (WFPC) at Duke, and engage participants in an open discussion. It is the sixth in an ongoing series of conversations focusing on barriers and opportunities to achieve Zero Hunger in the United States, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The dialogue series will contribute to a report outlining social, policy and technical recommendations to reach Zero Hunger and identifying education, engagement, and research activities the SDSN USA coalition and partners can undertake to reach Zero Hunger in the United States by 2030.
