Justice & Equity in Food & Agriculture

Please join Stanford University Libraries for a webinar on Justice & Equity in Food & Agriculture. Karli A. Moore (Lumbee) and Jocelyn Breeland will discuss the issues around food/agricultural security and equity that Indigenous communities and Black farmers are facing.

Karli A. Moore (Lumbee), PhD Candidate Environment and Resources, Knight-Hennessy Scholar
Moving Towards Indigenous Food Sovereignty – Indigenous communities and Tribal nations sharing borders with the United States are working hard to create healthy, thriving food systems. Unfortunately, structural, economic, and societal barriers make it difficult to exercise food sovereignty. We'll talk about a number of pressing issues and folks working for solutions.

Karli grew up on a family farm near Prospect, NC, and aspires to advance food sovereignty and economic development for Native peoples through sustainable agriculture.

Jocelyn Breeland, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer for Residential & Dining Enterprise
Black Farmers: Together Toward Justice and Equity – The Black Farmers Initiative, led by R&DE’s Stanford Food Institute and Oakland-based partner Farms to Grow, Inc., works with farmers and distributors to reverse the effects of generations of racism by helping Black Farmers enjoy the same support and market access as other farmers. In this session, Jocelyn will outline the Black Farmers Initiative, discuss the discrimination Black farmers still face today, and the ways the initiative is successfully advancing toward equity and justice.

Jocelyn is a member of the 2023 and 2024 Stanford IDEAL Honor Rolls. She is also an alumna of Stanford University, with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations.
