Submit a Virtual Session Proposal for the 20th Annual Chicago Food Justice Summit!
The theme of this year’s summit is New Growth, Old Roots.
The Chicago Food Policy Action Council would like to invite all to submit their proposal to present at the 20th Annual Chicago Food Justice Summit to be held on March 12-14, 2025. The Summit will empower attendees to share meaningful knowledge, build strong relationships, and join in conversations to envision our food future together.
20 YEARS OF CULTIVATING THE FOOD JUSTICE ECOSYSTEM
For 20 years, the Chicago Food Justice Summit has brought together leaders and emerging voices from all over the food system–farmers, producers, culture workers, academics, policy makers, and beyond–to dream, collaborate, plan, and build the vision for food sovereignty and justice. The threads woven together in these spaces through the years now make up some of the most resilient and supportive parts of our food system. This year is a moment for us all to celebrate what we’ve created together and imagine the boundless possibilities of what we can do together next.
NEW GROWTH AND OLD ROOTS
Developing the leadership and stewardship we need to survive the climate crisis and create a thriving future can only be achieved by harnessing the wisdom of the past to serve the ideas of the future. By making a space where longtime movement leaders can engage with and support emerging ones, the 20th Annual Food Justice Summit looks to catalyze the next 20 years of this movement and more.
Ending food apartheid and bringing about a just future and equitable, thriving food system is within reach. Let’s take this moment of inflection to launch ourselves into the next chapter.
We are looking for panels, workshops, and engaging sessions that fit this year’s theme, as well as embody our mission and vision statements. Each day will explore the ways that we can strengthen and scale our food system while planning and preparing for the many economic, social, and environmental challenges that lay ahead.
What will it take to build a system that
allows folks equitable access to the food that excites and nourishes them
empowers growers and food workers for economic success
honors the Earth and her inhabitants
centers community and intergenerational stewardship
while being scalable to our food needs, resilient to future disasters and disruptions, and vibrant for many generations to come?
