In honor of #AgWeek, we'd like to uplift the work of Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe member & @usdafsa Director Zach Ducheneaux. A cattle rancher himself, he tirelessly works to provide more equitable loan terms for small business farms so they can thrive. bit.ly/49XYYMV

US Black Farmland Ownership:
1910: 16M acres
2017: 3M acres
Systematic land theft robbed Black families of the chance to build intergenerational wealth. We stand with @AllensworthPA TAC Farm & others creating a new legacy thru farming. #SupportBlackFarmers

How do we build demand equitably for #RegenerativeAg? Well, @tomkat_ranch started with La Honda Pescadero USD to bring grass-fed beef to the menu. Now, the Beef2Institution program is in more than 20 schools and several hospitals, like @UCDavisHealth. tinyurl.com/tpk8snkz

#RegenerativeAgriculture can transform our #FoodSystems—but only if we put farmers and Indigenous Peoples at the center of our work, says @InnovationWoman in @FoodTank.
Investing in their wisdom generates value for our world and our future. #AIM4C
