Corporate Consolidation in Agribusiness: Discussing the True Costs
On Tuesday, September 28, join ActionAid USA for the launch of its new report “Bigger is Not Better: The High Cost of
Agribusiness Consolidation.” IATP's Director of Rural Strategies and Climate Change Ben Lilliston will present during the webinar.
In addition to sharing the findings of the report, there will be an in-depth discussion of how this consolidation impacts farmers, workers, rural communities, the food system as a whole, and the environment and how we can build a more resilient food system by investing in family farmers and acting on climate change. Following the presentations will be a Q&A session with the speakers.
