Virtual Walk Talk Listen with Karli Moore (episode 60)

Karli Moore is a member of the Lumbee Tribe and is from Prospect, North Carolina. Since earning her bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and agricultural business management from NC State, she also earned master’s degrees in agricultural economics from the University of Arkansas and rural development from Ghent University. She was also part of the inaugural class of students to earn a graduate certificate in food policy and sustainability leadership from Arizona State University. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in environment and resources at Stanford University’s School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences. 

 

Moore aspires to advance food sovereignty and economic development for indigenous communities through climate-smart agriculture that centers traditional ecological knowledge. She was a biodiversity coordinator at BASF, an economic fellow at the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative, and a program officer at the Native American Agriculture Fund. Her work has helped guide the investment of more than $40 million for Native food systems over the past two years. At NC State, she was a Udall Scholar, Park Scholar, and Mathews Medal recipient. At present Karli has been admitted into the 2021 cohort of Knight-Hennessy Scholars, an international, graduate-level scholarship program at Stanford University. Knight-Hennessy Scholars receive full funding to pursue any graduate degree at Stanford and have additional opportunities for leadership training, mentorship and experiential learning across multiple disciplines.

And yes, the 10th 100mile.org is around the corner and there are 10 plus ways to get involved. Indeed, one way is to support my walk with a donation. Due to the generous support of Re:Start mobile banking, we have received a matching grant of US$ 2,500. This means that every dollar you donate to the 100mile walk will be doubled until we reach that goal. My actual walk will take place from October 11-17, 2021. #hunger100 #gotheextra100mile #bethechange
