On today’s show, we hear about the shared issues of community-based fisherpeople and family farmers, including the 2018 farm bill, climate change, local impact on the environment, and international trade policies regulating labeling. Patty and our guests discuss both Alaskan and Great Lakes fishing in relation to farming and advocate for the economic empowerment of farmers and fisherpeople.
Today’s guests are Niaz Dorry, coordinating director of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance and National Family Farm Coalition; Marsh Skeele, co-founder of Sitka Salmon Shares; John Peck, executive director of Family Farm Defenders; and Joel Greeno, a third-generation farmer and board president of Family Farm Defenders.
