​

This track invites scholars and practitioners to reconceptualize food access as more than the availability or affordability of food. Through a multicultural marketplaces lens, we explore meaningful food inclusion: consumers’ ability to access food safely, equitably, and in ways that support health, cultural and religious identities, ethical commitments, social participation, and belonging. Participants will collaboratively develop a conceptual framework and research agenda for more inclusive food systems, policy, and marketplace practice.
