ACHIEVING A LIVING WAGE FOR FARMERS AND FARMWORKERS

What will it take to transform work on organic farms into respected careers, with livable compensation and dignified livelihoods for both farmers and farm workers? Elizabeth Henderson of the Agricultural Justice Project will introduce a Jen Salinetti of Woven Roots Farm and Brittny Overshiner of Upswing Farm who will discuss the place of fair wages in their operations, then open the floor to discussion between panelists and audience. Talk through how farms could pay more in wages, adjust to rising wage requirements, increase cooperation on (and between) farms, minimize risks and fluctuation, command fair prices and communicate their necessity to consumers.

Registration to the NOFA/Mass Winter Conference is required to attend. Sliding scale and scholarships are available.
