Farming for Justice

Farming for Justice is a quarterly webinar for farmers, land stewards, food producers, and activists interested in digging into the intersection of food, agriculture, and social justice.

Farming for Justice Webinars are a platform for dialogue, education, and action planning.

Once a quarter, via Zoom webinar, we join featured guests as they speak on topics addressing the intersections of farming and food justice.

Recordings are released following the session if you are unable to join.

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.
