This year’s theme: Tackling Wicked Problems in Food Systems
Wicked problems are not any old problems that just won’t go away. They are longstanding, complex, and difficult to define. In our collective work towards food system sustainability and justice, we constantly encounter wicked problems: food insecurity, farm viability, and farmworker exploitation to name a few. While we cannot expect immediate solutions, we must collaborate across our movement to develop feasible, long-term approaches to these intractable issues.
