SUMMARY:Fireside Chat: Thailand International Exchange with Ashley Cavender
DESCRIPTION:Ashley Cavender (she/her) serves as the Equitable Nutrition and Food Access Director at the Appalachian Resource Conservation & Development Council (ARCD)\, where she leads initiatives connecting people to dignified local food access. While spearheading initiatives rooted in community resilience across NE Tennessee. Her work focuses on strengthening farm-to-community relationships through programs that emphasize “food as medicine\,” equity\, and farmer support.\n\nIn Summer of 2025\, Ashley traveled to Thailand as part of an international exchange focused on sustainable food systems and cross-cultural learning. During her visit\, she met with Thai farmers\, educators\, and local food leaders to share ARCD’s approach to nutrition and farm resilience\, while learning from Thailand’s own traditions of community-based agriculture and climate adaptation. The trip deepened ongoing partnerships between ARCD and Thai food system innovators\, building on previous collaborations through the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI)\, where ARCD hosted Thai fellow Pongpoonat “Saill” Rungrueng earlier that year. \nAshley’s experience—spanning Appalachian farms and global networks—underscores her belief that resilient food systems depend on shared knowledge\, cultural exchange\, and care for both people and the land. Join us for an evening of conversation and expansive learning as Ashley breaks down her month abroad. \nHow to register: No registration needed. Drop-in. \nCost: Food/drink purchases encouraged. \nLocation: Living room/Fireplace\, 1st floor \nMore about Ashley:\nAshley Cavender\, Equitable Nutrition & Food Access Director at Appalachian RC&D Council \nA native-born to East Tennessee and an ETSU Alumni\, Ashley Cavender is elated to be in this role and to work on meaningful initiatives that focus on local food and dignified access.
