A lot of farmland is about to change hands. We can make sure it's distributed fairly to good stewards. This show looks at how agricultural land trusts and conservation easements can help young and under-resourced farmers get access to land, and at the history of Black land loss and the Justice for Black Farmers Act.  We also explore an anti trust provision in the Justice bill that would break up consolidation in the meat packing industry.  00:58 National Young Farmers Coalition - Holly Ripon Butler 03:05 Sustainable Iowa Land Trust - Suzan Erem and Jordan Clasen 14:37 Rhode Island Farm Land Access Program - Michelle Sheehan 17:09 Justice for Black Farmers Act - Savi Horne 24:18 Anti trust and meat packer monopolies - Austin Frerick
