We cannot forget that our nation was built on stolen land with stolen labor. Many of our agricultural institutions evolved from systems of exploitation and continue to be fraught with injustice.
We believe that we can address the injustices of the past, and that the production of healthy local food doesn’t have to come at the expense of our water and air, climate, healthy conditions for workers and neighbors, or the welfare of animals.
We believe that investing in healthy soils and a clean environment can lead to equitable, resilient communities and prosperous local economies.
