The Issues • How to decolonize food and science system; appreciate and
recognize community and indigenous knowledge.
• The ETHICS of our work and self-reflection
• Science is one determinant. Social and political determinants of health and food justice
• Need to develop inside outside alliances and strategies to
advance mutual priorities. Invisibility among allies.
• Key principles and practices: Need deep self reflection for effective community engagement and partnership development

Community-Scientists Partnerships
• Community-Scientists partnerships CAN work, HAVE worked
• Recognize and honor cultural context • Meet people where they are (physically,
emotionally) • Appreciate and be open about mutual priorities
– Ask what people need; no assumptions • Long term engagement • Accountability for researchers to research is not
extractive • Due compensation (for time, knowledge)

What’s needed
• Both sides need support: – Institutional – Peer support and recognition – Network, hubs, shared resources and learning – Compensation and overhead for community members – Accountability, reflection, and constant checking in
• Transparency, acknowledge power dynamics, negotiate expectations and interests, collegial to contractual
• Continue courageous conversations between policy makers, community, and scientists towards durable change
• Connect food equity to broader equity movement (transportation, education, employment, etc)
