Ep 1. Community Food Systems and Participatory Planning with Ryan Thayer

In Episode 1, we dive deep into equitable food systems with Ryan Thayer, a passionate advocate from the Bay Area. With an MA in Urban Affairs and a BA in Urban Studies and Planning, Ryan's career is dedicated to empowering communities and bridging the gap at the local level.

🍏 Ryan believes in the transformative potential of community food systems to break down systemic barriers and foster thriving communities. His work is centered on linking health and wellness directly to sustainable land practices, aiming to deepen community relationships, promote ecological sustainability, and drive economic empowerment.

🌇 As a lead community organizer in San Francisco, his advocacy extends to policy, with appointments to the San Francisco Food Security Task Force and the Sugary Sweetened Beverages Tax Advisory Committee.

🌾 Currently serving as the Executive Director for Spaces of Opportunity in Arizona, Ryan continues his passionate journey towards inclusive economies, leadership development, and resilient community food systems.

🏹 Join us in this inspiring conversation with Ryan, where we explore his belief that “…our relationships with the earth and our food can be used as a lens for how we can build healthy communities and sustain sociopolitical equity”. 🌿🎙️ #EquitableFoodSystems #CommunityEmpowerment #PodcastPreview #UrbanPlanning #UrbanBeginnings #Community
