A Farm Bill For All 

Our food system is failing to address hunger in the U.S. Our food system is vulnerable to climate change and a leading contributor to the climate crisis. Join AFSC staff, including Sayrah Namaste, and partners for our first roundtable discussion on the U.S. Farm Bill on how we can collectively call for policies that build a more just, equitable, and sustainable food system.
