About Me
- Ellen Parry Tyler
- Boston, MA, United States
- I am currently a master’s candidate in the Agriculture, Food and Environment program at Tufts University, and am particularly interested in adaptation to sea-level rise and climate change. One thing I have learned is that I am not alone in this quest. Everywhere now attitudes are beginning to shift as environmental concerns force people to recognize that we must be stewards of the land, and recent spikes in food prices are raising questions about what it means to have an equitable democratic society. Now, for the first time in our nation’s history, consumers, farmers, processors and distributors, big and small, are sitting down together in food policy councils and other community organizations to address how best to rebuild our food system around a shared vision of equitable access to healthy food. My own work within this movement has inspired me to see the potential of community organizing. It has also showed me that some food-systems issues are beyond the scope of what any individual civic group can hope to change.
