In this enlightening episode of "Rooted Wisdom," we delve into the critical role of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Native American agriculture. With the annual FSA committee election period kicking off on June 17 and nomination applications due by August 1, the timing couldn't be more perfect to explore this topic.
Our special guest, Carly Griffith Hotvedt, Interim Executive Director of the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, brings her expertise and unique perspective as a member of the Oklahoma FSA state board. Carly sheds light on the myriad ways the FSA can support Tribal producers, from providing essential resources, technical assistance, and financial support to facilitating conservation initiatives and disaster assistance.
Throughout the episode, we unpack the opportunities for Indian Country to engage with the FSA election process, amplifying Tribal priorities and fostering a more sustainable and vibrant future for Native American agriculture. Whether you're a Tribal producer, policymaker, Tribal leader, or an enthusiast of Indigenous agriculture, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Join us as we celebrate resilience, explore innovative agricultural practices, and illuminate pathways to a thriving future for Indian Country.
