racial justice in agriculture

Racial justice in agriculture involves ensuring fair treatment, opportunities, and resources for all racial and ethnic groups within farming and food systems. Historically, marginalized communities, particularly Indigenous peoples, Black farmers, and people of color, have faced discrimination, limited access to land, credit, and education, which has hindered their success. Promoting racial justice means addressing these disparities through equitable policies, land restoration, and support programs, enabling marginalized farmers to thrive and contribute to sustainable, diverse food systems. It aims to create fairness and inclusion, ensuring everyone has an equal chance to participate and benefit from agriculture.
