Public workshop series begins March 12th, 2010 in Ankeny, Iowa! The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), will hold a series of public hearings around the country on anti-trust violations, i.e. corporate dominance, in food and agriculture. Numerous topics are being addressed throughout the series and each workshop aims to focus on a handful of concerns. The workshop in Iowa will introduce the workshop series and may include discussions of seed technology, vertical integration, market transparency, and buyer power.
Can't make it to Iowa this spring but are interested in participating? Consider hosting a gathering to watch the webcast and using the workshop as an opportunity to discuss food justice in your community on or around the March 12th workshop.
