A Conversation About Food Access and Equity With Martha Archer
Friday, 4 September, 2020
This episode is a conversation with Martha Archer, who is the Executive Director for the Mill City Farmers Market. Our conversation is centered around food access and food equity. Specifically, how these topics are important to the mission of the market and affect communities locally and throughout the state. We discussed some of the efforts that the Mill City Farmers Market has taken to initiate change, talked about how SNAP and EBT benefits can be used to help increase access to fresh produce, and we spoke about the LEAFF (Local Emergency Assistance Farmers Fund) program which is helping to support farmers, particularly BIPOC farmers during our current economic crisis.
