vue - CEFS 2013 Sustainable Agriculture Lecturer: MAYA WILEY

The Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) and the NC Agricultural Foundation Inc., are proud to announce that Maya Wiley delivered CEFS' Annual Sustainable Agriculture Lecture on February 27 at the Durham Armory. Ms. Wiley presented a free lecture entitled "Unmasking Inequities: Building Toward a More Just Food System for All!". "Ms. Wiley's lecture promises to be stimulating and thought-provoking. We hope that it will spark further dialogue around food justice and creating equitable and fair food systems accessible by all North Carolinians," said Nancy Creamer, CEFS Director from NC State University. John O'Sullivan, CEFS Director from NC A&T State University, added, "We are looking to stimulate greater engagement in the resurrection of a local food system inclusive of people of color -- as producers, in value-adding, careers for youth, and in discussions of the best paths to follow to achieve equity and fairness in the food system". Maya Wiley is the Founder and President of the Center for Social Inclusion, a national public policy strategy organization that works to unite public policy research and grassroots advocacy to transform structural racial inequity into structural fairness and inclusion. Ms. Wiley graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1989 and is a frequent speaker on the national stage and author of many influential policy articles.
