This Short Talk session will feature presentations that focus on connecting to the environment (eg. resilience, green space, food access).

Short Talks are moderated lighting round sessions with multiple short presentations, featuring presenters who will be speaking on a related topic. They are a great way to hear a range of cases, geographies, perspectives and sub-topics within one space! Short Talks are also being held in our largest venue, so they are good sessions to be in if you want some space from the crowd. 

Presentation titles and speakers:

Zoe Callahan - "Revitalizing Pohoiki: A Collaborative Effort of Government Agencies and 'Ohana to Preserve a Historic Fishing Village and Community Stronghold Amid Lava's Reconstruction"

Akshita Siddula - "Cultivating Justice: Urban Farms as Agents of Food and Land Justice in East Baltimore"

Kelly Henderson - "Sparking curiosity and connection among readers in a public green space"

Marina Quierolo - "A market in every neighborhood! Scarborough Fresh Food Pilot: Making real food & economic opportunities available for everyone"
