All farmers don’t have the same opportunities. What role do we all have to play to ensure every farmer can farm? Cutting-edge efforts are underway to redefine collaboration as a solution to move farmer equity from an ideal to reality. Action-based coalitions are bringing together multi-ethnic farmers, farming groups, and allies to root our food and farming system in practices and policies that support underserved farmers and combat decades of racial injustices. What does equity look like in action? How do we grow agency for farmers of color? It’s possible to redefine the role of white ally ship in the collaborative fight for a racially equitable farming landscape: it’s time for all farmers to farm.
