This symposium arose out a collective event held in May 2017, called the Farm to Plate Conference, co-organized by Roots Rising Farm, Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming, and the Food, Agroecology, Justice and Wellbeing Collective at Cornell University. The involvement of Damon Brangman, Kate Cardona, Dr. Noliwe Rooks, Dr. Bobby Smith II, and Rafael Aponte is particularly acknowledged in making this conference a success. Funding for the conference was generously provided by Engaged Cornell, Polson Institute for Global Development, Einaudi Center for International Studies, Institute for Social Sciences (all of Cornell University), the Park Foundation, Sustainable Tompkins Mini-Grant Council, and the GreenStar Natural Foods Market.
