About This Zine
Our goal at the Gra-Zine is to empower farmers. We are committed to understanding and communicating how power shapes our agri-food system here in the United States, and how power can be shifted back into the hands of farmers themselves. We define “farmer” as anyone who stewards the land — whether you’re a land owning farmer, tenant farmer, a farm manager, a farm worker, or just trying to break into the biz, you are a farmer in our book! This zine is for you.
If you eat, this ZINE is for you!
You don’t have to be a farmer to influence, and be influenced by, the power relations of agriculture, however. If you eat, this zine is for you too!
