Ashley Monk
Activist Farmer
New York, Minneapolis, Chicago
I am passionate about creating resilient, self-renewing communities and food systems. My passion for food justice lies in the belief that changing how we grow food, eat and nourish ourselves and our communities has deep implications for social change. Food is not only linked to community, health, and ecological sustainability, but also racial, economic, and environmental justice. Self-renewing, resilient agricultural systems create the conditions for self-renewal and resilience for our entire communities, both locally and globally.
