With the annual FSA committee election period kicking off on June 17 and nomination applications due by August 1, the timing couldn't be more perfect to explore this topic.

Whether you're a Tribal producer, policymaker, Tribal leader, or an enthusiast of Indigenous agriculture, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
