Kitchen Table Talks

Kitchen Table Talks are part of an effort to bring healthy, affordable, easily accessible, and sustainably-grown food to all.

These talks bring community  members together around a shared interest: food. They provide a space for people to talk about their concerns related to food access and affordability, food quality, diet, nutrition, and social and ecological problems surrounding food production and consumption. They also provide a space to collectively build solutions to these problems.

By sharing ideas, knowledge, and experiences, these conversations have the power to make a real difference in the health of our communities. It’s our basic human right to have access to healthy food. Join the food justice movement. If you are interested in hosting a Kitchen Table Talk, please email us at foodtalks@cafoodjustice.org.
