Farm Bill Forum
For those who missed our Farm Bill Forum last month (or if you’d like to review the seminar), we’ve got our recording of the event here, or watch below.
Thank you to the CT Climate Crisis Mobilization and the Interreligious EcoJustice Network who co-sponsored this forum along with CT NOFA.
We’d also like to share with you an excellent letter from the Union of Concerned Scientists, which takes a comprehensive approach to all the many aspects of the Farm Bill. At this point, the UCS is looking for sign-on from organizations, so if you are able to sign-on for or share with a sympathetic organization, please do! Find the full text of the letter here. Please sign on via our google form here. Deadline is November 17th.
We’ve also rounded up all of the websites that are mentioned during the forum, courtesy of MC Whelan from the New Connecticut Farmer Alliance.
