Johnson & Wales University FIT Symposium 2025 – Cultivating Food Literacy

Taking place at Johnson & Wales University’s Providence Campus, the annual FIT Symposium gathers stakeholders from across the food system to work towards solutions to the challenges facing our industry and our communities.

This year’s theme is “Cultivating Food Literacy” and will focus on understanding the key impacts of nutrition and ingredients; where food comes from; and how to grow, manage and prepare it. In addition, we will explore solutions for improving food insecurity, K-12 food education, and nutrition among high-risk populations with renowned chefs, policymakers and food activists.

The Symposium will feature interactive panel discussions, tastings and hands-on workshops leveraging JWU’s modern culinary facilities. Attendees will gain unique insights that will expand their ability to impact change within their respective communities.
