On June 29, 2022, Paul Muller,
Ruth Dahlquist-Willard, and David Mancera spoke about how to ensure an
agricultural economy where small farmers thrive.
If you shop at your local
farmer's market, your weekly fresh fruit and vegetable haul is
increasingly at risk. Small farms face a barrage of threats, including
climate change, complex water laws, and stricter regulations. Often, the
only voices of farmers heard at the regulatory table are those of
larger agribusiness groups with resources to influence policies. How do
we sustain small farms and protect agricultural diversity?
