GLIDE welcomes USDA for roundtable discussion on racial equity and food security

Introduction

Welcome to Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani! We are thrilled to announce our upcoming roundtable discussion on racial equity and food security in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), hosted by GLIDE. In this thought-provoking event, we aim to shed light on the challenges faced in our society, explore potential solutions, and emphasize the significance of community involvement in addressing these critical issues.

Understanding Racial Equity

Racial equity is an essential element in building a just and inclusive society. It emphasizes the fair treatment, equal opportunities, and removal of systemic barriers that disproportionately affect individuals from marginalized communities. This discussion will delve into the importance of dismantling racial inequities within the food and agriculture systems, paving the way for a more equitable future.

The Impact of Food Security

Food security is a fundamental human right that ensures all individuals have consistent access to safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food. Unfortunately, many communities continue to face challenges in meeting this basic need. By exploring the intersection of racial equity and food security, we can better understand the root causes of hunger, explore innovative approaches, and advocate for policies that promote access to healthy food for all.
