AN EAR TO THE GROUND EPISODE 3

Every five years, the National Young Farmers Coalition surveys young and Black, Indigenous, and people of color farmers, ranchers, and growers across the country to understand their brightest hopes and biggest challenges, and the policy solutions that will help them to be successful in their farming careers. In 2022, the National Young Farmers Coalition received over 10,000 responses from past, current, and aspiring farmers. This three part series shares some of their stories through a partnership between the National Young Farmers Coalition, its Land Advocacy Fellowship program, and the Cal Ag Roots Podcast. 

This third, and final, episode features audio op-eds from three Land Advocacy Fellows: Brooke Porter, a land steward in El Sobrante, California; Lily Nauta, a land therapy advocate and agriculturalist in Santa Cruz; and Ali McMorrow, a vegetable farmer in Butte County, California. Through their own individual stories, they explain the importance of the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill.

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.
