The spread of COVID-19 has brought out in the starkest terms how individuals in subsistence marketplaces are unequal in day-to-day life, yet essential to the well-being of others. Our interactive, immersive virtual forum will be themed around envisioning a post-COVID world that addresses stark inequalities locally and globally in subsistence marketplaces. How do we work toward such a future through research, education and practice? We envision sessions and workshops organized around topics such as understanding the nature of inequalities in different geographies and domains of subsistence, connecting local and global issues, envisioning sustainable pathways post-COVID in subsistence marketplaces, and developing education about subsistence marketplaces that make the virtual real.
The conference purposefully includes a blend of virtual interviews with subsistence consumers and entrepreneurs in different countries, plenary sessions, participatory workshops, special topical sessions, and presentations of papers submitted in response to this call. The emphasis is on sharing nascent ideas and knowledge (or new and provocative questions) among researchers, practitioners and students.
