On this episode we talk about Food Equity with Latina leaders who are committed to making healthy food accessible to all communities here in Los Angeles. You’ll learn about the LA Food Policy Council and the creative ways this organization cultivates a diverse network of change makers from across our food system, from farm to fork and beyond, and this work is important to equity. 

This panel conversation includes:

Alba Velasquez who leads the Los Angeles Food Policy Council as the Executive Director,

Erika Crenshaw, Co-Owner of El Sereno Greengrocer, a one year old corner shop in El Sereno, in Northeast LA and

Jocelyn Ramirez, a Plant-Forward Chef whose product line of seasoning is sold at El Sereno Greengrocer.
