Kanbe鈥檚 Markets: A Model for Food Justice in Kansas City

Tuesday, Mar. 4 | 3 p.m.- 4 p.m. | GEB 233 (Craig Auditorium)

In 2024 alone, Kanbe's Markets redirected 1,000,000 pounds of produce from ending up in landfills.

Join this presentation as Sydney Schier, Redirection Coordinator for Kanbe's Markets, speaks about their program model, its impact across Kansas City, and great ways that students can get involved!
