In this continuation of From Fields to Policy, Farm Bill & Food Justice we dive deeper into how the Farm Bill affects each of us, from the food we eat and how we access it, to the health of our communities and environment. Join Change the Chamber*Lobby for Climate and the Climate Action Campaign as we explore the role the Farm Bill plays in our food system and the bill’s environmental justice implications. This session details opportunities to create a more sustainable food system through other legislation and initiatives and the successes and challenges marginalized communities face in agricultural businesses and obtaining food security.
