UMD’s Humanities for Food Justice Hub brings together students, faculty, and local residents to explore the connection between food systems and environmental justice.

Rooted in the humanities, the Hub builds community resilience through research, storytelling, and hands-on collaboration — ensuring the benefits of environmental change are shared equitably.

Our Vision

We envision a future for the community where partnerships and relationships are deepened and students are motivated to lead transformative work in their communities.

Our Mission

Through a humanities approach, we are leveraging the strengths of the university and communities while keeping people at the center to advance food and environmental justice.
