The Farm Bill presents a critical opportunity to advocate for a climate-smart agricultural sector that advances justice. We want and need a proposal that moves the agricultural sector in a sustainable and regenerative direction.
Jim Walsh of Food & Water Watch will speak with UUSJ about how we can use the Farm Bill to push the agriculture sector toward conservation, reductions in carbon emissions, and to protect land, water, and biodiversity from degradation. As convenor of the Alliance Against Farm Bill Offsets, Jim will highlight a vision for a Farm Bill that resists carbon markets and offsets as well as unsustainable agricultural practices and dirty energy, often promoted under the guise of climate-smart agriculture.
Jim serves as the Policy Director for Food & Water Watch. In this capacity, Jim works with Food & Water Watch’s policy experts and national allies to develop and implement campaigns to mobilize the public and educate decision makers on strategies that support the development of a better food system, a safe and livable climate and support safe and clean public water for all.
Food & Water Watch champions healthy food and clean water for all. Standing up to corporations that put profits before people and advocate for a democracy that improves people’s lives and protects our environment.
