The MinneAg Network provides vital support for MN’s farm and food systems stakeholders, and are committed to continuing this work. State policy and decision-making spaces for food and agriculture create structural barriers to engagement, resulting in a systemic lack of equity, empowerment and inclusion in decisions that affect everyone. Policy advocacy to redress this inequity is a luxury for small organizations, whose work is focused on urgent and practical needs, such as land & market access and food security & nutrition. The MinneAg Network strengthens relationships across organizations and deepens stakeholders’ understanding of civic engagement.
