Blog 2018 Farm Bill Rollout October 22, 2017 Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on Email Global Food Week of Action The Global Food Week of Action (October 15-22) is an opportunity for us around the world to act together for food justice and food sovereignty. It is a special time to raise awareness about approaches that help individuals and communities develop resiliency and combat poverty. Beyond examining our food choices, we must also recognize the lingering roots of racism embedded in our food system, which was founded on slavery and plantation agriculture, and still exploits the environment and workers in the food chain. We call for societal and policy changes that bring us closer to realizing the right to food for everyone and positive transformation of the dominant system. Prepare for the 2018 Farm Bill rollout in Congress and continue to protect SNAP. FRAC (the Food Research and Action Center) is an essential source to follow on all federal policy issues.
