Description

How can we create a world in which all Americans, regardless of income, geography, or race have access to healthful, fresh, affordable, and culturally appropriate food? In this interactive talk, Bryant Terry takes us on a journey of his more than two-decade career as a chef, author, publisher, and community builder committed to creating a healthful, just, and sustainable food system. From grassroots organizing to book publishing, Terry has employed cultural strategy, a field of practice that centers art, storytelling, media, and cooking (in Bryant's case) to bring about social change. Through a dynamic presentation that includes singing and rapping, and fusing personal narrative with food politics, Terry will show us how to improve access to fresh food in our communities -- whether that community is your campus, workplace, neighborhood, or your group of friends.
