In this Farm Aid 2023 Farmer Forum Panel, we discuss the relationship to food sovereignty and climate change. This relationship is one that centers on restoration - the restoring of land back to those who have been forcefully denied or displaced, and the redemptive practice of actively reconciling what is owed to fill the gaps created by that displacement. There is a shared story here that can benefit us all.

– Lauren McCalister, Manager, Bloomington’s People’s Market
