Food Systems Friday Webinar Series
With over 25 episodes archived, you can now go back and revisit this extraordinary webinar series at your convenience and free of charge.
“Food Systems Fridays” began at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The M.S. in Sustainable Food Systems (MSFS) program is an intentionally designed online graduate program. With most people sequestered in their homes, yet eager to learn and be connected, our faculty saw this as an opportunity to use our expertise to build a diverse virtual learning community. (Many organizations and institutions had less support and experience to make the online pivot.) We understood there were critical food systems issues emerging and we wanted to make sure folks were able to access information, resources, best practices and participate in the discourse. (Remember when everyone suddenly knew what supply chains were!?)
Bringing together practitioners, advocates, community members, students, and scholars in a learning and sharing environment helped to strengthen our national food systems network and still provides excellent insights and resources today.
We invite you to choose a topic and have a listen! Feel free to share these links in your networks.
Webinar Series Host
Dr. Robin Currey is an Associate Dean for Academic Innovation and founded the online Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems (MSFS) program at Prescott College. She is recognized for her ethnoecological research approach to agrobiodiversity conservation and value chain inclusion for small-scale agriculturalists, or home gardeners. Before coming to Prescott College, she served as the Director of Mercy Corps in Kyrgyzstan, an international humanitarian organization, and is a non-executive Director for Community Development Financial Institution in Kyrgyzstan. Her work with Mercy Corps in Kyrgyzstan grew from her efforts to understand and influence the sustainability and resilience of small-holder agro-pastoral systems to address inequities in the food system.
