A Seat at the Table: The Healthy Hartford Hub Podcast
What does it take to feed a community? What are the challenges to increasing food access in urban areas across the U.S., and what strategies can help food justice advocates rise to meet these challenges head-on? This podcast documents the stories of change-makers with the Healthy Hartford Hub project in Hartford, Connecticut -- people working in public and behind the scenes to advocate for better food access and health-providing services in their local community. Featuring interviews with community leaders, local residents, advocates, and scholars, A Seat at the Table gives an inside look at the dynamic work of transforming an urban food landscape and promoting equitable development that lifts everyone up.
