Join NYU Libraries for an insightful discussion with some of our most esteemed panelists about how the conversation, study, and action around food has evolved over the last two decades. Together, we’ll reflect on 20 years of the Critical Topics in Food event series and examine the role that thoughtful community gatherings like these have played in shaping our collective dialogue about food. The Critical Topics in Food event series is a partnership between NYU Special Collections, NYU Steinhardt Department of Nutrition & Food Studies, and Clark Wolf.

Coalitions, updated
In April, I posted a collection of coalitions of organizations working on issues in agriculture, food, and nutrition. Since then, several coalition groups have asked to be included on the list.
Here is the updated coalition list. These are organized alphabetically in two sections: United States and International.
Why did I put this list together? In unity there is strength.
Contact each together, combine resources, work jointly on issues of common interest. I can’t think of a better way to gain political power to achieve advocacy goals.
Enjoy!
