SUMMARY:Structurally Rooted Systemic Inequality Requires Social Justice Solutions
DESCRIPTION:View Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by SAFSF and Duke University World Food Policy Center \n\n\n\nStructural inequality establishes and maintains dominating relationships\, where certain groups of people are valued more than other groups of people. This plays out in every aspect of our society. Relational\, robust\, structurally rooted social justice informed equity is the way to deconstruct manifestations of structural inequality. This session will define Structurally Rooted Systemic Inequality\, identify the mechanisms that uphold it\, detail how that plays out in communities\, and open a conversation around philanthropy’s role in both upholding and dismantling it. This session will start the conversation of philanthropy’s role in upholding and unwinding these systems\, and set the stage for deeper dives into equity at the 20th Annual SAFSF Forum: Commitment & Accountability. \n\n\n\nThis is a free\, funder-only event\, please register below.  \n\n\n\nSession Goals: \n\n\n\nDefine structural inequality and what upholds it.Describe the human impact of structural inequality.Discuss the various ways in which philanthropy perpetuates structural inequality and how we are working to dismantle it.\n\n\n\nModerator:Jen Zuckerman\, director of strategic initiatives\, Duke University World Food Policy Center \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Jay Pearson\, associate professor of public policy\, Duke University Sanford School of Public PolicyCamryn Smith\, executive director\, Communities in Partnership \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Trust-Based Philanthropy in 4D Webinar Series | Session #4: Cultivating Trust-Based Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\nThe Trust-Based Philanthropy Project\, in partnership with the Environmental Grantmakers Association\, Blue Sky Funders Forum\, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders\, is pleased to announce a four-part webinar series on using trust-based values to guide your philanthropy’s grantmaking practices\, culture\, structures\, and leadership. \n\n\n\nAn organization’s leadership team plays a key role in upholding and reinforcing values and culture—not just by what is said\, but what is done. For this reason\, trust-based philanthropy is most successful when there is buy-in and modeling from leadership. In a trust-based context\, leaders strive to be collaborative and facilitative\, focused on lifting up the whole team and building trust internally rather than consolidating power and influence at the trustee level. Most importantly\, they lead by embodying values of humility\, equity\, and transparency — with a willingness to give up some of their power in service of the organization’s greater purpose. \n\n\n\nSo what does this tangibly mean for leaders at various roles within an organization? And how can a foundation’s CEO and board work to intentionally build trust among one another while upholding and reinforcing a trust-based culture? In this final session of the 4D series\, we will hear from practitioners who have embraced self-reflective practices to cultivate their own trust-based leadership\, as well as what they’re doing to reimagine their roles and their trustees’ roles toward advancing a more intentional trust-based culture within their organizations. \n\n\n\nParticipants can expect to walk away with a clearer understanding of what it means to be a trust-based leader; tools for taking a coaching stance to uplift\, guide\, and support teams; and strategies for reimagining board leadership to support your organization’s big-picture vision for trust-based philanthropy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries:\n\n\n\nSession #1: TBP in 4D: Using Trust-Based Values to Transform Your Grantmaking \n\n\n\nThursday\, February 3\, 2022 from 10-11:30AM PT \n\n\n\nSession #2: TBP in 4D: Embracing and Embedding a Trust-Based Culture \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 3\, 2022 from 10-11:30AM PT \n\n\n\nSession #3: TBP in 4D: Building and Reinforcing Trust-Based Structures \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 31\, 2022 from 10-11:30AM PT \n\n\n\nSession #4: TBP in 4D: Cultivating Trust-Based Leadership \n\n\n\nThursday\, May 5\, 2022 from 10-11:30AM PT

SUMMARY:Funders + Lawyers + Family Farmers = Success
DESCRIPTION:View Recording\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Farmers Lawyer story of saving 245\,000 Family Farms from Illegal Foreclosures in the 1980s and Why Funding Legal Strategies is Crucial \n\n\n\n\n\nThis session will tell three stories. The first story is how Sarah Vogel\, then a solo practice lawyer in North Dakota\, brought a lawsuit against USDA for nine broke farmers that grew into a case that protected 245\,000 farmers from illegal practices and unconstitutional foreclosure. She will use her new book\, The Farmer’s Lawyer\, to explain how a small $15\,000 grant from a funder allowed her to do this case. The second story is how Willie Nelson held the first Farm Aid concert and used some of the $7 million in proceeds to help start a non-profit law firm\, Farmers’ Legal Action Group\, to support farmers with their legal needs. The third story will be how Farm Aid and FLAG have continued this work from the 1980s and how vital this work is to today’s family farm system of agriculture. This session will feature Sarah Vogel\, attorney\, advocate and author of The Farmer’s Lawyer\, Carolyn Mugar\, Executive Director of Farm Aid since its inception\, Glenda Yoder\, Associate Director of Farm Aid\, and Stephen Carpenter\, Deputy Director and Senior Staff Attorney of Farmers Legal Action Group (FLAG).Session outcomes:  \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn from Sarah Vogel how a small $15\,000 grant was instrumental in saving thousands of farmers from unconstitutional foreclosure and starve outs in the Coleman v. Block case\, as told in The Farmer’s Lawyer book. All of the speakers will give additional examples of how philanthropic support was vital to grass roots activism in the 1980s\, and how important it remains today.   Participants will be encouraged to keep working on problems that seem insoluble or overwhelming. If the broke farmers in the 1980s could win against the mighty USDA\, other “little guys” may be able to win against equally overwhelming odds today.Participants will learn how since the 1980s legal support has been a valuable tool in the arsenal of advocacy — from commenting on proposed regulations\, to counselling farmers in crisis\, to helping minority farmers\, and to fashioning solutions to bring a brighter tomorrow. Finally\, participants will get a sense of optimism and energy about how timely legal support to family farmers and grass roots organizations can be a critical part of resolving problems on land access\, racial equity\, and solving climate challenges.  \n\n\n\nModerator: Carolyn Mugar \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Sarah VogelGlenda YoderStephen Carpenter \n\n\n\nThis is a FREE event open to all funders. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Transforming Food Culture to Transform Our World: Activating Narrative Strategies to Reimagine Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:RECORDING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSLIDES\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat becomes possible when we seed and amplify transformative food narratives? Join a conversation with leading practitioners to explore the essential role of cultural and narrative strategies to reclaim and reimagine how we grow\, cook\, and gather around food.  Countless efforts to reshape food and agriculture in the U.S. perpetuate and reinforce dominant narratives rooted in extraction\, exploitation\, and white supremacy. Without intentionally addressing deep narratives to change the way we think about food\, we will continue to struggle to shift actions and behaviors that are desperately needed to meet this moment of climate crisis\, corporate consolidation\, and political polarization. When we embrace a cultural approach to food\, and invest in transformative narrative strategies\, a world that nourishes our mutual flourishing and collective liberation becomes possible. This briefing will explore orienting to a cultural framework for food systems transformation\, immersing in narratives as community activation\, the relationship between narrative strategy and strategic communications\, and offer a case study of creative activation for cultural impact.  \n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers: \n\n\n\nJovida Ross\, Director & Steward at Food Culture Collective\n\n\n\n\nFood has been a guiding force in Jovida’s life\, since her early years on her family’s organic micro-farm in Coast Miwok lands of rural Northern California. Jovida is a visionary organizer\, facilitator\, and strategist who has spent decades working with story-sharing as a cultural technology that builds community power. Before joining the Food Culture Collective team\, Jovida was the Director of Programs at Movement Strategy Center (MSC)\, where she co-founded The Transitions Initiative and led the design and facilitation of MSC’s Transitions Labs. These BIPOC-centered cross-movement learning and strategy spaces gathered more than 200 social justice movement leaders from across the country to explore the question: How do we transition our world from domination and extraction to resilience\, regeneration\, and interdependence? With Jovida’s leadership\, FC Collective has come to clearly situate our work within a movement-building context\, understanding that we are more powerful when we work in concert with others whose visions align with ours. \n\n\n\n\nShizue Roche Adachi\, Narrative Strategist at Food Culture Collective\n\n\n\n\nA storyteller\, strategist\, designer\, and creative director-at-large\, Shizue’s joined Food Culture Collective after a decade living and working in rural farming communities. Shizue’s work surfacing and crafting narrative frameworks that deeply witness and affirm us in our wholeness and support us in the messy work of collective transformation is deeply informed by her background raising livestock and her decade’s long career working with food and agriculture nonprofits\, creative projects\, and mission-driven spaces. A storyteller reaching across mediums\, her independent radio pieces have aired on Heritage Radio Network and New Hampshire Public Radio\, among others. Shizue holds a BA in Environmental Studies from Yale University. \n\n\n\n\nFabiola Santiago\, Oaxaqueña Zapoteca Chef & Creator of Mi Oaxaca\n\n\n\n\nFabiola is a Zapotec (Indigenous) migrant from Santiago Matatlán\, Oaxaca\, Mexico. She is a mother\, an outspoken thinker\, a cultural worker\, and a believer in possibilities. Her personal experiences as a formerly undocumented person and her connection to Oaxaca’s rich culture – particularly as a descendant of mezcal makers – anchors her commitment to community\, equity\, and Indigenous cultural preservation. Fabiola expresses her love for her culture through various mediums: cooking\, writing\, speaking\, and imagining a future where Native Oaxacans have cultural agency and where we have economic security. She is also creating Mi Oaxaca\, a project that centers the lived experiences\, voices\, knowledge\, and expertise of native Oaxacan people and those of the diaspora within the food and mezcal industries. Fabiola earned her BA in Sociology and Masters in Public Health from the University of California\, Los Angeles.  \n\n\n\n\nAisha Shillingford\, Artistic Director at Intelligent Mischief\n\n\n\n\nAisha is an anti-disciplinary artist\, world builder\, designer and cultural strategist originally from Trinidad & Tobago. The artistic director of the creative futures and design lab\, Intelligent Mischief\, she is an alumna of Laundromat Project’s Creative Change Fellowship\, a member of the New Museum Incubator\, and an inaugural Fellow at the Race Forward Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy.

SUMMARY:Funder Policy Briefing: Climate Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act
DESCRIPTION:RECORDING\n\n\n\nSLIDES\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-hosted by SAFSF and Funders for Regenerative Agriculture (FORA) and co-sponsored by the Panta Rhea Foundation and Regenerative Agriculture Foundation.\n\n\n\nJoin the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF)\, and the Funders for Regenerative Agriculture (FORA) for Funder Policy Briefing: Climate Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. \n\n\n\nThe Senate just passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. It is now moving to the House of Representatives for a vote\, likely tomorrow (Friday). Here is a brief rundown on what it would mean for agriculture conservation and debt relief for distressed farmers. \n\n\n\nWith USDA conservation programs oversubscribed\, this new funding would go a long way in helping more farmers and ranchers across the country implement conservation practices that make their lands more resilient to the changing climate. In addition\, the provision in the American Rescue Plan for debt relief for farmers\, who have faced historic discrimination in accessing federal resources\, has been tied up in the courts. The IRA replaces that provision with similar but looser language\, so proper implementation of this provision will be critical. \n\n\n\nDuring this funder policy briefing\, you will hear from leading policy experts about what this bill means for climate change\, agriculture\, conservation\, and debt relief for farmers of color. In addition\, speakers will also touch on what the immediate implementation issues are they will be working on with USDA\, as well as what this means for the upcoming farm bill debate. Speakers include: \n\n\n\nFerd Hoefner\, Farm\, Food and Environment Consulting – confirmedMike Lavender\, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition – confirmedDãnia Davy\, Federation of Southern Cooperatives – invited\n\n\n\nThis is a free\, funder-only event. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Agrochemicals: The Next Frontier in the Fight Against the Fossil Fuel Economy
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin other funders to explore the urgent need to take on agrochemicals as a core component of a just transition away from fossil fuels. Co-hosted by Health and Environmental Funders Network and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, leaders from the field will provide an overview of the fossil fuel-derived agrochemical supply chain and its impacts on communities mobilizing against it in the US Gulf South and globally. These leaders will then join funders to discuss what a vibrant\, cross-sector\, global-to-local strategy to transition away from these chemicals looks like\, with time allotted for funder-only discussion at the end of the call. \n\n\n\nFossil fuel-derived fertilizers and pesticides have significant climate impacts along their life cycles* and are major drivers of toxic pollution and biodiversity loss for communities where they’re made\, where they’re used\, and where they create toxic runoff.    \n\n\n\nFew are aware of the way our food systems are tethered to the fossil fuel economy\, and of the growing role agrochemicals play in propping it up\, including the current promotion of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a mechanism to greenwash agrochemical companies as “clean energy companies” and cash in on generous new government subsidies. \n\n\n\nAgrochemical and fossil fuel companies are operating or actively exploring dozens of new or expanded production facilities across the world\, including projects in eight US states already affected by polluting industries. Communities are already fighting and winning against some of these expansions.   \n\n\n\nJoin the webinar to hear about current and emerging funding and organizing strategies\, where there are gaps\, and how others are sifting through confusing messaging and the immensity of the challenge to identify bold strategies to meet the urgency of the moment. \n\n\n\n* For example\, nitrogen fertilizers alone contribute 2% of global GHGs\, which is more than the aviation sector! The food system accounts for approximately one third of global GHG emissions. \n\n\n\nPresenters:  \n\n\n\nLili Fuhr\, Deputy Director\, Climate and Energy Program\, Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL)Marcia Ishii\, Senior Scientist\, Pesticide Action Network North AmericaMatt Rota\, Senior Policy Director\, Healthy GulfSophia Murphy\, Executive Director\, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP)\n\n\n\nModerator: Anna Lappé\, Director\, Food Sovereignty Fund of the Panta Rhea Foundation  \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Farm Bill Platforms from the Field - National Young Farmers Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC) about their 2023 Farm Bill Platform. Vanessa García Polanco\, NYFC Policy Campaigns Co-Director will walk us through the coalition’s policy priorities\, particularly the call for equitable access to land\, and help us understand where funders can engage and support these efforts.  \n\n\n\nAccording to NYFC’s 2022 National Young Farmer Survey\, 59% of young farmers named finding affordable land to buy as very or extremely challenging\, and 65% of BIPOC farmers ranked it as very or extremely challenging. Over half of all respondents said that they currently need more access to land\, whether to buy or lease. As this webinar will demonstrate\, the 2023 Farm Bill presents a critical opportunity to address this need. \n\n\n\nThis is a free\, funder-only event. Registration is required. \n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nNYFC Presentation Slides
