URI Food Summit
The University of Rhode Island will host its fifth annual Rhode Island Food System Summit, “Taking the Lead: Improving Food Access in a Global Pandemic,” to discuss how the pandemic has affected our state and our nation’s food security and what steps can be taken to address this crisis.
With a depressed economy, rising unemployment and multiple logistical challenges posed by a global pandemic, food insecurity in the state of Rhode Island and beyond has risen to levels not seen in decades.
The event will feature a keynote address from Viraj Puri, chief executive officer of Gotham Greens, on how his company promotes economic growth and opportunity in urban, low-income communities.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
