His six years as Policy Advisor at Canadian Foodgrains Bank, an international development NGO, examined the structural injustices that surround hunger, focusing in particular on international agricultural trade, the human right to food, and development assistance for small-scale farmers in the global South. The politics of people and place surrounding current discourses of food justice continue to shape Kenton’s imagination and academic interests. On the practical side, he is a current board member for USC Canada, a co-founder of the Manitoba Food Charter, a founding member of Canadian Mennonite University's community garden, and is currently working with students and alumni as part of the CMU Farmers' Collective – an on-campus 20 share urban CSA vegetable farm.
