Farm Bill Fairness is a hub for sharing resources and connecting advocates, organizations, farmers, farm workers, and scholars who are working toward racial justice and equity in US and global food systems.

Whether you are a farmer or farm worker who has been working tirelessly to transform the Farm Bill for decades, a sustainable agriculture advocate who is looking to better understand the racialized implications of US farm policy, a climate scholar looking to create equitable community-partnerships, or a racial justice activist just beginning to learn what farming has to do with it, this is a site for you. Farm Bill Fairness is housed at the Antiracist Research & Policy Center.

Pointing the Farm Bill Toward Racial Justice Summit:

In April 2023 the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund (FSC/LAF), Berkeley Food Institute (BFI), American University’s Center for Environment, Community, and Equity (CECE) and Antiracist Research Policy Center (ARPC) hosted Pointing the Farm Bill Toward Racial Justice, a Farm Bill Summit & Briefing. It was a historic convening of farmers, advocates, policy-makers, scholars, students, and the general public invested in making the next Farm Bill a policy vehicle for advancing equity across each of the twelve titles in the bill.
