A poor person's field may produce abundant food, but injustice sweeps it away. Proverbs 13:23

The Future of Food is NOW! Prepare to help defend the land and the people of the land! The hands that feed us!

LINEUP: For Community Presentation and Dialog!

Jaime Mariqueo, Mapuche (Original Peoples) Activist and Communicator, Chile Adam Barr of Community Farm Alliance, Stephen (Esteban) Bartlett, Agricultural Missions, Inc. (AMI), interpreter, facilitator

In 2007, the U.S. Congress is expected to reauthorize the farm bill. The Farm Bill touches everyone in this country-everyone who eats, and especially

those who struggle to have enough to eat. Even people outside the United States feel its impact. The Farm Bill includes vital nutrition safety nets

that our government provides for those most in need. It is only renewed every five years!

Come out and learn how to support just reforms of the 2007 Farm Bill, ranging from nutrition, to corporate concentration, commodity subsidies,

export commodity dumping, sickening factory farms, and discrimination at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
