FACE Ag Network Part 2: Leveling the Agricultural Playing Field #foodpolicy #animalwelfare

How do we build a more resilient, humane, and regenerative food system? And who has the power to make it happen? In Part 2 of this two-part series, host Matt Maier continues the conversation with Eric Boatti, Senior Manager of Farmer Advocacy at the ASPCA, and Mike Guebert, Western Regional Leader of the FACE Ag Network, regenerative livestock farmer, and Program Director of the Oregon Pasture Network. Together, they explore how farmers can influence policy, why collective advocacy matters, and the critical role consumers play in shaping the future of agriculture. The discussion covers food policy, greenwashing, animal welfare, consumer demand for regenerative products, and the importance of amplifying the voices of pasture-based livestock farmers. Most importantly, they share why they remain hopeful that farmers, consumers, and communities can work together to create meaningful change in our food system. #futureoffood #biodiversity #knowyourfarmer
