Across the Northeast, advocates are working at all levels to address the current and future impacts of climate change on our food system. Though there is little movement and numerous steps backwards at the federal level, food and agriculture organizations and activists are busy on the state and local levels working with governments to enact promising measures that address global warming through an agricultural lens. In this pre-conference, we will gain a better understanding of the landscape of climate change work in the agriculture and food systems sector, and discuss how to coordinate strategies that help move us further along in addressing the climate emergency. Lunch will be provided.
