Malaika Bishop - Empowering our Communities to Transform the Food System - EcoFarm 2019 Keynote

Invocation by Valentine Lopez
Our communities and youth continue to rise to protect each other’s health and the planet. How do we grow in this momentum and better empower each other to heal and transform our food and farming system - perhaps beyond what we could even imagine?

Malaika Bishop has been working to create sustainable and just food systems for over 20 years. Since 2013 she has been co-directing Sierra Harvest, which educates, inspires and connects Nevada County Families to fresh, local, seasonal foods. She began her career by training young change makers from around the world, and later co-founded People’s Grocery, a food justice non-profit in Oakland. When she moved back to her hometown in Nevada County, she worked on several small organic farms, managed a farm that served a high school cafeteria, and served on the board of BriarPatch Food Co-op. Malaika is the mother of 2 boys and maintains a large home garden and orchard. Malaika is a recipient of the Jefferson Award for Public Service, and she was chosen by Utne Reader, San Francisco Magazine and Organic Style Magazine as a young visionary and environmental leader.
