On June 4-5, 2024, the National Right to Food Community of Practice (NRtF CoP) will be hosting its second annual national summit in Syracuse, NY. 

This 2nd annual summit is an opportunity for food justice advocates and practitioners from across the country to come together and share strategies and solutions for progressively realizing the right to food in the United States. 

Rooted in the experiences of Syracuse residents on the south side and west side, one of the main goals of the 2024 Summit is to amplify the systems and institutions that perpetuate food insecurity in high-poverty neighborhoods.  In addition, we will highlight solutions implemented by community organizers and residents working on the frontlines to break the pattern of child malnutrition, stymied life opportunity, and related cycle of children entering the school-to-prison pipeline.
