Agenda 23 represents the agenda for the 2023 Farm Bill. What's the Farm Bill? It's the most comprehensive piece of food and agriculture legislation passed every five years. As we prepare for the next Farm Bill to be enacted into law, we are starting the conversation now about everything we need to fight for in the next bill! The conversations between this unlikely duo- John Ikerd, an 80 year old Professor Emeritus born and raised on a dairy farm in Missouri and Mackenzie Feldman, a 24 year old born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, will be sure to bring you hope, joy, and a foundation of knowledge so that we can all be engaged for the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill!
On this episode, we talk with Dr. Alex Racelis, associate professor in the UTRGV School of Earth, Environmental and Marine Sciences and director of Agroecology and Resilient Food Systems Program. We discuss the inaugural Agriculture Subcommittee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Equity Commission, where Racelis is one of 15 appointees. We also discuss the research Racelis conducts, (and Mackenzie who is in Racelis' lab!), which is driven by a better understanding of how agriculture, urban development, invasive species and resource management affects certain ecological processes in the light of pressing social and environmental issues, such as climate change, food and water security, sustainable development, and social justice.
In this episode, it's a conversation between the two hosts, Mackenzie Feldman and John Ikerd. Mackenzie asks John about his recent research around Farm and Food Policies for A Sustainable Future and how what we can learn from the past for the 2023 Farm Bill.
We are joined by Anié Henry, food systems futurist and "agvocate", and Ricardo Salvador, senior scientist and director of the Union of Concerned Scientists Food & Environment Program.
