Equitable Land Access for BIPOC Farmers: Rethink Outside™ Webinar
October 26, 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Access to and ownership of land for farming is a challenge for many farmers who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. Structural socio-economic inequalities and historical discrimination in credit markets, state and federal programs, and real estate are just a few of the barriers that challenge the economic viability of BIPOC farm operations. Land access is a necessity for building food sovereignty, without which BIPOC communities cannot fully embrace their food history, agricultural practices, and knowledge to produce healthy, culturally appropriate foods.
Join Rethink Outside™ to learn about land conservation initiatives that address these historic inequities and create alternative systems for fostering stewardship and land ownership to support thriving BIPOC communities.
This is an open webinar – all are welcome and registration is required. The webinar will be recorded.
Speakers:
- Kierra Hyman, Triangle Land Conservancy
- Camille Samuels, Ph.D. student & Rethink Outside™ Fellow
- Rocky Casillas Aguirre, Sharing Our RootsCee Stanley, Green Heffa Farms
