My final report entitled “Lessons in resilience from social justice focused farming in the US” can be downloaded here. My learnings are grouped around the themes of:
- Making change through employment
- Attending to power within our organisations
- Creating leaders for the future
- Storytelling to uphold the past, and amplify in the present
- Bringing together food access and sustainable livelihoods
- Funding social justice work
- Attending to systemic oppression and being overt in our politics
My hope is that gathering these lessons in this report will inspire both conversation and action here in the UK. I strongly feel that applying these ideas will contribute towards increasing the resilience of UK movements for small-scale agro-ecological farming and community-led food systems, our food systems and wider society.
