Join the November BIPOC Network Meetup!

Join us for a friendly gathering for farmers, aspiring farmers, land stewards, farm workers and food justice workers who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour. After a busy and inspiring summer of in-person field days at BIPOC-led farms, we’re looking forward to reconnecting and continuing the conversations we started in the fields.

This year, the BIPOC Network hosted three in-person Policy Jams where we had important conversations with you all on what policy means to you, what supports ecological farmers need, and important messages policy leaders need to hear.

Our everyday experiences as farmers, growers, land stewards and food workers are an important source of knowledge about what needs to change.

At this meet-up, we will:

🐞share common themes that showed up in our Policy Jam discussions

🐞explore how BIPOC farmers can shape agricultural policy and influence decisions that affect our communities – we’re stronger together!

🐞sneak preview of the policy sessions at the EFAO Conference Dec 1-3 at Blue Mountain

The format will be relaxed and conversational. You don’t need to know anything about policy to join the conversation! As always, bring a question you’re curious about, an experience to share, or an idea you’d like to explore with the group.

Looking forward to gathering!
