| Description: | The Food Studies Project presents guest speaker Judith McGreary, a UT alum and executive director of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance. Fried chicken served.
The Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA) is dedicated to representing noncorporate agriculture and animal owners, from homesteaders to horse owners to full-time ranchers. FARFA's work also serves local foods consumers, people who care about protecting our traditional way of life and other like-minded individuals.
FARFA advocates for farmers, ranchers and homesteaders through public education and lobbying to assure their independence in the production and marketing of their food, and to prevent the imposition of unnecessary regulatory burdens that are not in the public interest. FARFA also advocates for consumers' access to information and resources to obtain healthy foods of their choice. FARFA promotes connections between rural and urban communities to support diversified, local agricultural systems. |
