Program priorities are identified through community-based listening sessions, surveys, program evaluations and direct contacts. Ag Summits have been held annually since 2013, with a different program focus annually, developed by a steering committee that includes participation from both the community and university extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 San Juan Islands Agricultural Summit was a virtual event held in spring 2021 focused on equity in the San Juan County food system. Designed as a space for inspiration, education, and community building, the 2021 Summit brought together farmers, producers, and food system advocates to learn and discuss ways to build an equitable future for all involved in the San Juan County food system and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sessions included:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>White Supremacy Culture in Food Systems \u2013 Keynote<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating Equitable Food Access Through Local Food Procurement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black Agrarianism Series<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traditional Foodways in the San Juan Islands Series<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dolores Huerta Documentary and Film Panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local Solidarity Economy, Farming Co-ops, and Domestic Fair Trade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indigenous Perspectives on Food, Land, and Environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Duke University researcher Alison Conrad gave the keynote presentation, \u201cWhite Supremacy Culture in Food Systems.\u201d Her research explores white biases and white supremacy narratives in the food system, and she posits that these translate throughout that system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 Summit may have passed, but the recordings remain available. The recordings include speaker presentations and the Q&amp;A sessions that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WSU Extension has a long history of providing quality and useful content to community members across the state.

Her research shows that white dominant beliefs and behaviors\u2013assumed to be the norm\u2013can put the emphasis of food work in the wrong place. As a consequence, we miss the opportunity to address the root causes of food systems issues and create lasting change. She will also discuss how individuals and organizations can start the process of unlearning a whitened history and related biases, and learn about how to work IN community instead of ON BEHALF OF community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capnote Speaker<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A-dae (Kiowa\/Cochiti) was born and raised in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico and comes from the Toyekoyah\/Komalty Family from Hog Creek, Oklahoma on the Kiowa side.&nbsp; Mrs. Romero-Briones works as Director of Programs-Native food and Agricultural Program for First Nations Development Institute.&nbsp; She is formerly the Director of Community Development for Pulama Lana\u2019i.&nbsp; She is also the co-founder and former Executive Director of non-profit for Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico.&nbsp; Mrs. Romero-Briones worked for the University of Arkansas\u2019 Indigenous Food and Agricultural Initiative while she was getting her LLM in Food and Agricultural Law.

Keep fellow participants from seeing your bedhead or hearing your cat screeching by turning those off by default. To do it, go to&nbsp;<strong>Settings &gt; Audio &gt; Mute microphone when joining a meeting<\/strong>, and then&nbsp;<strong>Settings &gt; Video &gt; Turn off my video when joining a meeting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mute and unmute with the space bar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are called on to speak, stop scrambling to click the microphone button. You can press and hold the spacebar to quickly mute and unmute your mic, right from your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>React with emoji on screen&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re muted in a meeting, you can still let the hosts know your thoughts with emoji reactions. Send a \u201cthumbs up\u201d or a \u201cclapping emoji\u201d to communicate without interrupting the meeting (by default, those reactions have a yellow skin tone, but you can customize that on the Zoom desktop app).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To react during a meeting, click the Reactions tab at the bottom of the meeting screen (it\u2019s in the same panel as mute audio and video, to the right) and choose the one you want. Emoji will disappear after 5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the meeting organizer enables the nonverbal feedback feature, participants can place an icon such as a raised hand next to their name to communicate. Every participant will be able to see each other\u2019s feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turn on gallery view<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallery view lets you see everyone in the meeting at once, instead of just the person speaking. To turn that on, click the tab that says \u201cGallery view\u201d in the top right corner. If the meeting has 49 or fewer attendees, you\u2019ll see all of their screens displayed on one page. If there are more, you\u2019ll have the option to move between multiple pages. Change it back by clicking \u201cSpeaker view\u201d in that same top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.cnet.com\/how-to\/13-zoom-video-chat-tips-tricks-and-hidden-features\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/blog.zoom.us\/wordpress\/2019\/11\/27\/video-meeting-etiquette-tips\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.owllabs.com\/blog\/video-conferencing-etiquette\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-accordion\">\r\n    <h3 id=\"unique-id-1__20467\" class=\"wsu-accordion__title\">\r\n        <button class=\"wsu-accordion__title-button wsu-accordion--toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-id-1__content\">Zoom Troubleshooting<\/button>\r\n    <\/h3>\r\n    <div id=\"unique-id-1__content\" class=\"wsu-accordion__content\" aria-labelledby=\"unique-id-1__20467\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-accordion__content-inner\">\r\n            \n\n<p>Here is an&nbsp;overview of common issues we anticipate, and very brief suggestions for&nbsp;solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Problem<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Possible solution<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Can\u2019t run Zoom&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Download the latest version here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/zoom.us\/download<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the link from the&nbsp;\u201c SUMMIT INFO\u201d&nbsp;email&nbsp;(NO&nbsp;LINKS in&nbsp;the Registration email)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Can\u2019t connect to Webinar\/Meeting&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>STEPS TO JOIN AN EVENT<\/strong>&nbsp;Please sign in 10 minutes early.
