Feeding Change: Exploring the Drivers of Unsustainable Food Systems and Building Pathways Toward Health, Equity and Sustainability

Join us for this FREE Public Lecture with Charles Levkoe.  

Charles Levkoe is the Canada Research Chair in Equitable and Sustainable Food Systems, a Member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada, and a Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at Lakehead University. His work focuses on how people and communities are transforming the way we grow, share, and think about food. He studies the relationships between social movements, public policy, and community-based initiatives that are building more just, sustainable, and democratic food systems. He is also the Director of the Sustainable Food Systems Lab, where he brings together researchers, community organizations, and Indigenous partners to explore how food can be a powerful tool for social and environmental change. Charles has published widely on food systems governance, community-based research, and social change — including more than 200 articles, book chapters, and reports, as well as several edited volumes on food sovereignty and sustainability. Through his teaching, research, and activism, Charles is helping to shape a future where healthy, sustainable food systems support both people and the planet.
