Thanks @FarmAid for bringing Captain Charlie Abner to the #FarmAid2022 stage and giving a voice to community based fishermen and the impact of #climatechange on the ocean and our food systems. @LocalCatch @slowfishusa @FoodSolutionsNE @FamilyFarmCo
#FarmAid press conference is always one of the best opportunities to hear messages from local producers.
Today we heard from North Carolina #Farmers & #Fishers - all are dealing with #climatechange and must be innovative & involved to stay in business.
