UTRGV Food Summit
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Agroecology Program and the Office for Sustainability, in conjunction with the Institute for Ecology, Scholarship, and Health will host a Food Summit during UTRGV’s annual Earth Fest from Monday April 17 to Friday 21, 2023. The Food Summit will celebrate food culture and agricultural history in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) and imagine pathways forward to an equitable food system. The RGV has many assets that give it the potential for a strong and resilient food system, but currently there is a gap between production and community that leads to public health problems, economic disparities, and environmental issues. The Food Summit will serve as a catalyst to forge new, and strengthen existing partnerships to move forward with the intention to address issues of equity around food.
