CPH alumna Karima Samadi MPH-PEP ’15 will speak at a 2023 CFAES Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Speaker Series event on April 20.
Karima Samadi, a policy analyst at Columbus Public Health's Center for Public Health Innovation, will speak about the fragility of our food supply system exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our food supply system. While national-level responses to our food supply revealed a lot of weaknesses, the hyper-local response to feeding our communities demonstrated great strength in our mutual aid networks. The foundations of food justice include the belief that food is a human right. In Columbus and Franklin County, we have a strong network of community organizations that lead the charge in feeding our neighbors in need of food, especially those that are underserved and underrepresented.
