Amina Robinson

Food Systems Community Engagement

City of Atlanta Mayor's Office of Sustainability & Resilience

Bio:

Amina Robinson is a strategist, coalition builder, and systems disruptor working at the intersections of sustainability, food systems, and environmental justice. She serves as Partnership & Coalition Manager for Georgia Conservation Voters and as the food systems community engagement fellow for the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Sustainability and Resilience. She is also the founder of The Brain Farmacy, a venture blending sensory-inclusive green spaces with plant-based wellness and eco-conscious event strategies.

Her mission is grounded in the belief that environmental care is community care—how we treat the land reflects how we treat each other. In Atlanta, she works to dismantle food apartheid and design community-led models of access and circularity. Across Georgia, she supports coalitions advancing just policy and shared power. Globally, she champions regenerative systems that uplift the wisdom of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

“Circular thinking is not new. Our ancestors practiced it out of necessity and wisdom. Now it’s our responsibility to reclaim those values and design systems that honor them.”

[Breakout Session I] The Equitable Harvest: Building a Fair and Sustainable Food Future

This is an interactive, 60-minute session exploring the deep connections between food waste, environment, and racial inequities.

Through a collective visioning exercise, attendees will co-create an Inclusive Food Futures Vision Map that reflects core values and strategies for equitable change. The session blends data, storytelling, and systems thinking to inspire action toward a more just and sustainable food future.
