Shaping the Future of Food is a virtual event series introducing the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy and our work.

On May 13, 2025 at 12 p.m. CT, join us for a conversation with IATP's Michael Happ on his research into USDA farm conservation funding. As the impacts of climate change worsen, a resilient and sustainable agriculture system will be crucial for the future of food. Michael's ongoing report series critically examines where USDA conservation dollars are being spent and how programs could be improved to increase access, equity and farm resilience.

Watch the re-play here.

The spring series will conclude with an in-person event in Minneapolis on June 16. Join us to learn more and gather together in shaping a sustainable future of food.
