https://lu.ma/cslt8tp8 As food insecurity rises, climate change accelerates, and the retail food economy shifts, how can technology be leveraged to expand food access, support small food businesses, and build climate resilience? This panel conversation will explore the intersection of food justice, innovation, and climate adaptation. The event will feature entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and community leaders discussing ethical tech solutions—from digital food assistance platforms to data-driven urban agriculture, climate-smart logistics, and worker-centered automation. Discussions will also focus on how inclusive, community-centered innovations can better serve historically marginalized communities and ensure equitable access to food and economic opportunity. Join us to discover how technology can be a force for equity and resilience in Los Angeles’ evolving food landscape.

on unceded Indigenous homelands.
We acknowledge and honor the descendants of the Tongva, Kizh, and Gabrieleño peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles Basin and the Southern Channel Islands). We pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
As part of a greater foodshed, we would also like to pay respect to and honor the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, Kitanemuk, ʔíviĨuqaletem, Acjachemen, Payómkawichum, and any other tribal group possibly not mentioned. As a Food Policy Council for Los Angeles we recognize this land acknowledgment is limited and engagement is an ongoing process of learning and accountability.
