I'm an editor interested in food sovereignty, food sustainability, and environmental justice.
As an environmental sciences major, I’m interested in the intersection between food systems, sustainability, and global health. I intend to edit the parent article "Food Deserts" and create a new child article titled "Food Deserts in the US".
Here is a link to the key elements of my proposal, including a description of my planned work as well as a list of annotated references I plan to use in editing and creating both articles.
