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.

DESCRIPTION:The RFP Deadline has passed. \n\n\n\nAbout the RFP\n\n\n\nMember-driven content makes up an important part of SAFSF’s annual schedule of activities that help agriculture and food systems funders connect with each other\, learn about the field and each other’s work\, and amplify their impact through aligned action. \n\n\n\nIdeas submitted through this RFP may be considered: \n\n\n\n\nfor inclusion as an in-person workshop session or learning dinner at the June 2023 SAFSF Forum in Washington\, DC; or \n\n\n\nas a virtual webinar or series of webinars at another point in the year. \n\n\n\n\nSubmission is open to any active funding organization; SAFSF membership is not required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRequirements for Webinar and Forum Content Proposals\n\n\n\nSessions proposed for either a webinar or the Forum should: \n\n\n\n\nHighlight agriculture and food systems issues and solutions that are timely\, actionable\, equity-centered\, and aligned with SAFSF’s values.\n\n\n\nAllow speakers and participants to exchange information\, expertise\, lessons learned\, and/or points of view in a way that benefits their individual and collective practice.\n\n\n\nHelp participants connect with each other to build relationships\, discover areas of shared work\, analyze funding strategies\, and explore future collaborations.\n\n\n\nEngage and connect a diverse range of funder and invited practitioner participants who reflect different parts of agriculture and food systems relevant to the session topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolicy Considerations\n\n\n\nWe encourage policy-focused proposals that help funders learn\, engage and develop collaborative strategies on federal\, state\, tribal\, and/or local policy\, as well as grassroots community organizing and power building to influence public policy.  We expect that half of the sessions presented at the 2023 SAFSF Forum and throughout the year will have a policy focus. \n\n\n\nKey areas of policy interest include discussions of policy priorities\, advocacy\, and funding strategies related to: \n\n\n\n\nThe farm bill and key states represented on Congressional agriculture and appropriations committees\n\n\n\nChild Nutrition Reauthorization and other nutrition incentives legislation\n\n\n\nUSDA funding and equity programs\n\n\n\nState legislative policy issues/campaigns\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFocus Areas\n\n\n\nWe also encourage both general and policy-specific proposals to be mindful of the Focus Areas we will continue to emphasize in 2023: \n\n\n\n\nClimate change;\n\n\n\nConsolidation and concentration; and\n\n\n\nLand access.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Considerations for Forum Content Proposals\n\n\n\nProposals for the SAFSF Forum must have strong interactive\, storytelling\, movement\, collaboration\, hands-on\, or other elements that make a compelling case for in-person presentation. We do not anticipate offering a virtual or hybrid option for Forum participation. Both workshop sessions and learning dinners will take place in concurrent blocks. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Sessions\n\n\n\nFunders whose proposals are accepted as workshop sessions are expected to pay the registration and travel expenses for themselves and any non-funder speakers included in their presentation. We also encourage funders to support their non-funder speakers with honoraria for their participation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Dinners\n\n\n\nYou may also submit your proposal for consideration as a learning dinner. The learning dinner format is best suited to a less formal presentation style and topics that lend themselves to lively table conversations. In addition to the costs above\, funders whose proposals are accepted as learning dinners are also expected to underwrite the full cost of food and drink for those dinners. (Attendance numbers may be capped depending on the capacity of the chosen venue\, either in the conference hotel or at a nearby restaurant.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadlines and Questions? \n\n\n\nAs mentioned above\, SAFSF is pleased to accept content for 2023 SAFSF Forum and webinars from all funders\, even those who are not members of SAFSF. Proposals must be submitted online by 11:59 PM PT on Monday\, January 9\, 2023. Visit our website to familiarize yourself with the Forum theme and to find full RFP submission process details.If you have questions\, please reach out to SAFSF Program Director\, Erin Olschewski at erin@safsf.org.

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

SUMMARY:Civic Engagement Strategies to Advance Food Systems Change: Dive Deeper with FCCP
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted with Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation \n\n\n\nThis webinar is the second in a two-part series.Civic Engagement Strategies to Advance Food Systems Change: Primer with PACE | February 16 \n\n\n\nDuring part one of this webinar series in February\, we showcased a broad range of activities foundations can embrace to advance civic engagement. In this webinar\, we’ll dive deeper with some specific examples of civic engagement campaigns and how funders have supported them. Join us to learn more about how you can leverage civic engagement work to advance your primary goal of food systems policy change. \n\n\n\nThis is a free\, funder-only event. Registration is required.  \n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWebinar HighlightsFCCP’s Paul Ryan kicked off the March 16 conversation by noting that civic engagement is the “motor that drives change regardless of the policy area” you support. \n\n\n\nDavid Martinez III\, of Arizona’s Vitalyst Health Foundation\, shared their approach to supporting “civic health\,” based on the idea that civic engagement improves measurable health outcomes and is also the means to building healthier policy outcomes. “When healthy people are involved in our democracy\, our democracy is healthier.” \n\n\n\nConnecting directly to food funders\, Josh Ewing of Rural Climate Partnership\, said “There is no path to fixing our food system that doesn’t involve civic engagement.” He noted that organizing in rural communities around direct-impact issues like the effect of CAFO pollution on local water quality or pipelines running through farmland is often the entry point to continued engagement in democratic processes.
