Check out our report on the Food Sovereignty Workshop! 

OSU Units in partnership with Central State University Professor Brandy Phipps organized a professional development workshop on community-partnered research with a focus on food sovereignty on October 13 and 14, 2022. “Community-Centered Approaches for Food Systems Transformation” focused on university-community partnerships and the importance of learning from communities about their local food systems, both historically and in the present moment while conducting research. Several communities involved in food sovereignty efforts were represented at the workshop in addition to 27 different units at Ohio State University. Speakers also represented Historically Black University, Central State, and Menominee Tribal College (see “Who?” in the report). Five government offices and 6 non-profit organizations were also represented (see Who?” in the report).
