Description

Organization:
Samayu/AJW

Title:
Associate Researcher

Who We are:
Samayu works towards intersectional justice for people, planet and animals.

We start with the acute recognition of the importance of tangible, positive outcomes that can be put into practice across strategic domains.

We leverage the power of collectives and communities in changing mainstream narratives for creating a just, equitable world for all, including animals.

By leveraging the power of collectives, participatory decision making and partnerships, we create a powerful, unstoppable momentum for sustainability, equity and protection of nature and animals.

Our Vision for Food Systems:
Food systems are at the core of the changes roiling India.

Samayu wants to collectively imagine the just food system of the near future (i.e., ~ 10-15 years from now), one that promotes the flourishing of people, animals and the planet and realize that imagination by constituting sub-collectives committed to near future outcomes pertinent to their organizational or individual mandates.

We do this by bringing together change agents, key stakeholders and partners for reimagining food systems in India, and use strategic levers of policy and public advocacy to implement just action.

Together, we hope to advance plant-forward consumer advocacy and public policy advocacy and to enable a transition to plant-forward and sustainable food systems.
