Food Justice
The Rhode Island College Food Justice Project
The Rhode Island College Food Justice Project was developed by students in the International Nongovernmental Organizations Studies (INGOS) Program.
In INGO 200, INGOS Social Entrepreneurship, students work on food justice issues in Providence every spring.
Faculty-mentored past projects have included a food desert study of South Providence and shorter reports on resources for food-insecure residents of Providence. In Spring 2019, students have designed a much-needed resource sheet for Providence residents that will compile all of the food-related resources in the city, including food banks, government assistance programs, elderly services, community gardens, farmers markets, and food cooperatives.
For more information, contact Professor Robyn Linde at rlinde@ric.edu.
