The movement for race and equity continues, and the policy shifts needed to align to the demands of the farmers most in need will take time. In the meantime, what is being done in regards to market access for those most vulnerable? What do race and equity mean in an already problematic and competitive space? Join a panel composed of those spearheading this cause, an urban farmer from Sacramento, an established food hub from southern California, and an up-and-coming food hub from the Bay area. Each entity comes from a different background and different sales channels. All will share their unique perspectives, challenges, successes, and opportunities in this current era.
