FORUM THEME
Our collective future hinges around issues of equality, health,climate, and the shape of our food system. The 14th Annual SAFSF Forum in Louisville, Kentucky will address these critical themes and their many points of connection. We’ll visit a region whose people, land, and economy are experiencing both subtle and powerful transitions. The decline of the tobacco and coal industries have created a cultural and economic crisis, but the emergence of sustainable agriculture, a growing local foods movement, and the reintroduction of hemp as a food and fiber crop are bringing new economic opportunities, and with them, hope. Together, we’ll begin to unpack the power dynamics that determine whether initiatives like these become part of our future. During the Forum we will address questions such as: How do issues of race, class, gender, and money impede a just and sustainable farm and food system? What are the connections between food and climate change? How are art and culture interwoven with struggles for positive, lasting change? Through story telling, reality tours, in-depth workshops, and more, we’ll connect these threads with the voices of leaders at the forefront of transitioning power.
