Farmers, gardeners, land stewards, food systems workers, food justice activists, and community organizers are invited to share their story, efforts and initiatives through our Farming for Justice (FFJ) webinars.  

When: FFJ meets quarterly, with 90-minute sessions scheduled each spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Where: This 90 minute session is hosted and facilitated remotely by Groundswell staff via Zoom. Presentations have included sharing of slides or videos, breakout sessions for small group discussions, and/or larger discussions among the group. The format is flexible, depending on the presenter’s style and aims.

Compensation: As of Spring 2022 we have increased our compensation rate to reflect the level of labor and expertise offered by presenters, and to show appreciation for the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ voices we prioritize in the FFJ series, We offer presenters a rate of $500 per webinar to cover teaching and preparation.

Topics: We're open to your ideas for topics related to farming and food justice! We've also received feedback requesting presentations on the following topics: equitable land linking and access, restoration of native plants and seed, and traditional growing practices/methods of Black and Indigenous farmers.
