Event Description

Corn subsidies? Food stamps? Ethanol? The Food Pyramid? It all comes down to the one major piece of legislation passed every five years: The Farm Bill.

Join Urban Adamah and the California Food and Justice Coalition (CFJC) for a fascinating look into this massive law: where the money goes, how decisions are made and who is likely to win (and lose) during its upcoming reauthorization. Come learn what the Farm Bill means for our local communities, including how it affects our food access, quality, and nutrition. We will also discuss ways to influence policy and create local solutions to concerns surrounding food, farming and nutrition.

This event is free and open to the public, but please register in advance here:
