How You Can Support a More Equitable Future for Farmers |
On September 25, farmers came together to share their stories and discuss racial equity and social justice in California agriculture at “Sowing an Equitable Future for Farmers.” Cohosted by CUESA and California FarmLink, the panel was moderated by farmer Chanowk Yisrael, cofounder of Yisrael Family Urban Farm and President of Slow Food Sacramento, and included Marsha Habib of Oya Organics, Ge Moua of Moua’s Farm, and Javier Zamora of JSM Organics. They each spoke about their journeys as farmer-entrepreneurs in an unpredictable industry, as well as challenges they encounter as womxn, people of color, and immigrants in agriculture.
Click below for eight takeaways from their conversation, including what we as eaters can do to be accomplices in supporting small farmers and advocates for an equitable food future for all. |
