Learn how LA urban farmers access land & grow food sovereignty. Hear their stories & strategies in an inspiring panel discussion!
Join us for a dynamic panel discussion featuring experienced urban farmers, community organizers, and land access advocates who have navigated these challenges firsthand. From forming key relationships with local governments to leveraging policy tools, our panelists will share their journeys and hard-earned insights from their fight to support urban farming.
We reside, work, and cultivate food
on unceded Indigenous homelands.
We acknowledge and honor the descendants of the Tongva, Kizh, and Gabrieleño peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles Basin and the Southern Channel Islands). We pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
As part of a greater foodshed, we would also like to pay respect to and honor the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, Kitanemuk, ʔíviĨuqaletem, Acjachemen, Payómkawichum, and any other tribal group possibly not mentioned. As a Food Policy Council for Los Angeles we recognize this land acknowledgment is limited and engagement is an ongoing process of learning and accountability.
