We’ll be at this year’s Community Food Security Conference again this year. This year we are co-sponsoring a panel with the National Family Farm Coalition on taking back our co-operatives featuring farmers and fishermen.
Farmers and Fishermen Regaining Control of Their Cooperatives
Sunday, November 6 2:15-3:45 pm
Producer co-ops were designed to benefit farmers and fishermen
through collective bargaining rights, yet today processors’ control of
cooperatives are hurting producers and consumers alike. Representatives
from dairy, fishing, produce and consumer sectors will describe ways in
which they are regaining control of their cooperatives to ensure a fair
food economy.
- Lisa Griffith, National Family Farm Coalition
- Daniel Teague, Mississippi Association of Cooperatives and the Federation of Southern Cooperatives
- John Peck, Family Farm Defenders
- Larry Collins, Crab Boat Owners Association, San Francisco, and Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Association
- Mike Hudson, Hudson Fish, Oakland, and Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Association
