Ryan Goodman created the 'Pride in Agriculture' campaign to help the industry become more inclusive. "Talking peer-to-peer can be one of the biggest influences on what is perceived as acceptable and how we view the world." modernfarmer.com/2022/06/pri…

The Federation of Southern Coops is seeking declarations from farmers of color who have experienced discrimination at the USDA, and from white farmers who have observed discrimination over the past 10-15 years. Please contact [email protected] by June 24, 2022.
There is no “new type of farming called regenerative”. That is thousands of years old. There is a ~70 year old type of farming called degenerative. That’s pretty new in the grand scheme.

“Most businesses can’t raise any financing; banks won’t lend to them. With Steward’s model of financing, the broader issue is access to capital for small business. Our focus on regenerative agriculture is a subset of small business.” — @GoSteward ▸ lttr.ai/wt5i

There is a myth that has to die and I am going to shout: LOCAL FOODS ARE NOT BETTER FOR THE CLIMATE! Transport is about 10% of a food's carbon footprint, and it's overshadowed by how efficiently the food is grown. But wait, there's more. nytimes.com/2021/05/20/style…

“Government policy defines the entire market. Government policy in America is focused on large commodity production of a few products, so if you're outside of that system, there is very little capital available.” — @GoSteward Read more 👉 lttr.ai/vQGb #Food
