ABOUT KEYNOTE SPEAKER BRYANT TERRY:
Bryant Terry is an eco chef, food justice activist and author. For the past nine years he has worked to build a more just and sustainable food system using cooking as a tool to illuminate the intersections between poverty, structural racism and food insecurity. His interest in cooking, farming and community health can be traced back to his childhood in Memphis, TN where his grandparents inspired him to grow, cook and appreciate good food.

Bryant Terry is currently a fellow of the Food and Society Policy Fellows Program, a national project of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. He has garnered many honors and awards for his work and been featured on dozens of national and regional media outlets, including the Tavis Smiley Show, NPR’s Tell Me More, The Splendid Table, Jet, The Atlantic, Vegetarian Times and many more. You can see him in action talking about food discrimination online at:
