Abstract
The 2022 Urban Food Systems Symposium was Sept. 26-28, 2022 at the historic Hotel Kansas City in Kansas City, Missouri. The theme was "Building Coalitions for a Changing World." The symposium brought together more than 200 community leaders, urban planners, not-for-profit administrators, educators, researchers, students and others interested in urban food systems to share and gain knowledge on how to build coalitions, adapt to a changing world and discuss how urban food systems contribute to these solutions. The symposium is held every two years.
The two-day symposium featured a keynote speaker, three invited speakers, 11 oral and two poster sessions. Each oral session featured four 15-minute presentations on related topics ranging from city planning and zoning for urban agriculture, food policy, and Black-led urban agriculture and its transformative local impact, to aquaponics as a solution to climate change, and more. Presentations were followed by 30-minutes of participant discussion and questions to further explore the session's topic and get to know the people working on similar issues in other parts of the U.S. and across the globe. The abstract book includes the invited speakers and the contributed oral and poster speakers for the 2022 UFSS.
