Socially Disadvantaged Farmers Listening Session

email micarter@vsu.edu
Join us for an opportunity to learn from each other about how the coronavirus pandemic is impacting socially disadvantaged farmers, food producers, our
patrons and communities as we face new and unprecedented challenges. This is a chance to share the challenges you are or may face during this crisis,
explore new opportunities that present themselves during the pandemic and discuss innovative and resourceful responses underway to keep our
communities safe and food secure.
We also want to provide a platform to ask your questions to government and institutional officials, and will have representatives from VADACS, USDA
agencies, Small Business Administration, Virginia Cooperative Extension and others to address your specific concerns. Questions and comments can be
shared at https://vsusmallfarms.com/ listening-session/ prior to the session. A Zoom link to the call will be emailed upon registration. We want to foster
farmer-to-farmer connections and come together to make this adversity an opportunity for us all to grow together and serve our communities at even
greater levels.
