Eye-opening panel discussion w/ Jacinta Dalton ATU, & Anna Brown, @talamhbeo.bsky.social on university's role & responsibility in changing the food system. Sometime we need to "colour outside the lines" & sometimes we need the courage to draw a new picture. College procurement is a lever for change.
