This panel sheds light on the history and current power dynamics of the food and farm system—a system with broad impacts on the climate, economy, public health, immigration, and more. Attendees will be prompted to think critically about how agriculture policy choices have fueled the consolidation of power and wealth not just in farming but in the economy and culture, and even impacted the US political landscape. Participants will recognize their own ability to engage in this space and make change through building relationships and shared power with a range of stakeholders and impacted communities.
