| Caring for People, Animals, and Land During COVID-19 with Root Down Farm |
| CUESA has been taking our Food Change project online through a series of videos, in partnership with photographer Anne Hamersky. Watch this four-minute video about caring for people, animals, and the land during COVID-19. It features rancher Dede Boie of Root Down Farm with her wife, Melissa, their daughter, Eddy, and lots of cute chicks and pigs. "Everything we do is about the health of the animal, the health of the land, and the sustainability of the people," says Dede. "My philosophy is to hold those things as best as we can together." |

Farmers: Impact and Resiliency During the Pandemic | July 30 | Online The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the ways that many of us think about food and how it gets to us. How have supply chains changed? Should we be concerned about further disruptions? How are farmers pivoting to keep people fed? Join us to hear directly from Aomboon Deasy of K&J Orchards, Greg Massa of Massa Organics, and other farmers to learn how the pandemic has impacted their businesses, what it has taken for them to adjust, and what they see as the future of farming.
