USDA Equity Commission Member Shirley Sherrod invites you to attend the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Equity Convening for the Southeastern Region, being held on Thursday, May 16, 2024, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Resora, the main campus of The Sherrod Institute in Albany, Georgia.
This outdoor event will take place during The Sherrod Institute's Annual Farm Field Day, focusing this year on advancing equity at USDA, and ensuring equitable access for farmers to climate-smart practices. Attendees will get a first-hand look at those practices courtesy of multiple farm-wide trolley tours, hear from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, while also engaging with local farmers, showcasing their produce and products during the exciting exposition.
The Sherrod Institute's mission is to develop more accessible and community-oriented food systems, while increasing opportunities for historically under-served families and farms and building a sustainable movement toward a more just society.
