Yona Sipos, core faculty in the Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health program is quoted in this recent post by the City of Seattle Mayor’s office, remarking, “The recently updated plan provides an impressive vision of how we can all pursue equity, sustainability, and resilience for our City and region. Food and food systems can truly act as unifying themes for communities, and the Plan’s level of detail provides clear goals and strategies to connect, learn, and contribute positively — which many of us at the University of Washington anticipate doing with students across the Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health program, among others.”
