Beyond the Fence Line: A Conversation on Agriculture, Justice, and Community

​Join Mindi DePaola and Vernice Miller-Travis for a conversation on environmental justice beyond urban contexts. Drawing from recent lessons from EDF's beef environmental justice work, they will explore how environmental justice manifests in rural communities, the importance of place-based engagement, and what a just transition means for agricultural regions facing economic, environmental, and climate change pressures. The discussion will highlight opportunities to advance environmental and sustainability goals while strengthening rural livelihoods, local economies, and community decision-making.
