 “Food Ethics in Practice: Farm Forward and the Better Food Foundation”

This talk focuses on Tuminello's advocacy work for the nonprofit organization's Farm Forward and the Better Food Foundation. Using examples of specific projects that he has led or contributed to since 2011 (including recent and upcoming events and programs), he will discuss how these efforts to build a just, equitable, and sustainable food system both inform and are informed by my philosophical research, illustrating the importance of feedback loops in the relationship between theory and practice.
