    Betting the Farm | J.L. Chestnut

    The number of Black Farmers has declined dramatically in the last 100 years and the USDA's racist lending practices hastened that decline. J.L. Chestnut, the chief attorney for the Black Farmers class-action discrimination lawsuit against the USDA, won the largest civil rights settlement in U.S. history, opening the door for restitution for Native American, women and Hispanic farmers. "Fighting on behalf of women, on behalf of minority people of color, fighting on behalf of the environment and the planet are all one big battle. It is all about a struggle for the soul of America." This talk took place at the 2001 Annual Bioneers Conference and is part of the Ecological Food and Farming, Vol. 1 and Democracy, Human Rights and the Rights of Nature, Vol. 1 Collections.

    Fighting for Justice for Farmworkers | Lucas Benitez

    In this dramatic depiction from the front lines, farmworker organizer Lucas Benitez sheds light on the most unsung heroes of the food system: exploited farm workers.

This landmark triumph caused a domino effect with other giant food companies to pay farm workers decent wages and provide better working conditions. This speech was given at the 2008 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Re-Imagining Labor in a Green Economy Vol. 1 Collection.

    Millions of Acres: Young Agrarians Needed | Severine v T Fleming

    In the next 20 years, farmland ownership will shift on a continental scale—400 million acres, yet 70% of American farmland is owned by people 65 and older. How can we help young, motivated agrarians survive daunting structural obstacles and become successful farmers to whom retiring organic farmers can transmit their wisdom? How can we invest in the democratization of our land base? These questions drive Agrarian Trust, started by Greenhorns founder Severine v T Fleming, one of the most dynamic leaders in the young farmers’ movement.

    Sustainable Solutions Over Centuries | Dune Lankard

    Unlike in the lower 48 states, Alaska Natives were not corralled into circumscribed reservations, but rather became incorporated into the Native Claims Settlement Act, making them shareholders of their “corporation.” Dune Lankard describes his monumental achievement in preventing the proposed clear-cut of over 700,000 trees in the wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill by suing his people – the Eyak Corporation – for the right to vote for conservation over development. Lankard’s many conservation triumphs are driven by his innate care for all creation, inspired by his childhood memories of a subsistence way of life in an unparalleled paradise. This speech was given at the 2008 Bioneers National Conference.

    Organic and Beyond: Paradigm for a New Food Future | Andrew Kimbrell

    One of the most penetrating critics of technological abuses, this leading lawyer-activist for local and sustainable food takes on the destructive and toxic system of industrial agriculture. Author of the classic book Fatal Harvest, he shows how reconnecting with the land, farmers and our food can heal the distortions born from our separation from the Earth and psychological distance from each other. He warns us to be alert to the manipulations of corporate food giants who seek to take over the organics movement and debase organic standards with genetically modified foods and other poorly conceived technologies. This speech was given at the 2002 Bioneers National Conference.

    The Real Food Challenge | Anim Steel

    Food organizer Anim Steel asks us to imagine a dark holding cell in Ghana and the iron gate through which millions of slaves passed before being forced into the hold of a waiting ship. The gate represents an entry point on a centuries-long agricultural path, which began with plantation labor abuse and has brought us to the current unhealthy, centralized industrial model largely controlled by a handful monopolistic corporations. His Real Food Challenge represents a doorway for a food movement that leverages university food budgets in service of a fair and healthy food system. It has resulted in tens of millions of dollars in commitments to provide fair and fortifying food, and it is student-driven. This speech was given at the 2011 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Food Justice Vol. 1 Collection. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
