Kelly Leigh Ikin

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

I will cook meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will enjoy meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will watch documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.
