Molly Anderson: Narratives of Power- Perspectives on Food System Transformation

While the need to transform the global food system is widely accepted, how that should happen is a matter of dispute. Narratives show different ideas of transformation, ranging from sustainable intensification and technological innovation to agroecology and food sovereignty, although their elements are not exclusive to single narratives. They affect the support that governments and donors provide to different programs and policies, thus reinforcing or weakening different alternatives. This presentation identifies the major narratives that are competing today, and what is needed for one to succeed. Molly Anderson holds the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair in Food Studies at Middlebury College, where she directs the Food Studies Academic Program and teaches about hunger, agroecology, food justice and food policy. She is interested in multi-actor collaborations for more sustainable food systems, food system resilience, human rights in the food system, the right to food in the US, and bridging interests and concerns of academicians and community-based activists. She works to improve food system sustainability at multiple scales, from the local to the international. She has participated in Vermont’s Farm to Plate Network; the Food Solutions New England network; the national Inter-Institutional Network for Food, Agriculture & Sustainability; and the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food).  She co-founded and directed the first five years of the Agriculture, Food & Environment Graduate Program at Tufts University’s School of Nutrition Science & Policy; served on the staff at Oxfam America; and consulted for local, state, and international clients. She earned an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Systems Ecology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Molly is also a Macmillan Scholar working with the Gund Institute for Environment and the new UVM Institute for Agroecology.
