The goal of this toolkit is to help farmers organize around transformative learning and action. The first section provides foundational understandings about racism, how it operates in our food system, and why dismantling racism is central to the pursuit of a just agricultural system. The second section provides guidance, structure, and practical tools for convening conversations about race, racism, equity, and justice. The third section offers guidance around organizing toward direct action based on principles of resource-sharing, reparations, and movement building.
