About this Event
On February 4, 2026, the CRB will host an evening of conversation with inspiring women working at different nodes of the food system — advocating for farmers of color, workers’ rights, historically excluded communities, and the planet.
This panel will explore how women are regionalizing food systems, advancing equitable food policy, creating safe and dignified workplaces, and reimagining a more just and sustainable future for all. Our speakers bring expertise from across the food landscape.
This event is open to the UC Berkeley community. Refreshments will be provided.
