The USDA is hoping to encourage more African Americans to take up careers in agriculture. FM89’s Ezra David Romero reports from an outreach event held today in Fresno.
The small USDA office in West Fresno was packed with more than 40 African American people ready to learn how to make their farming dreams a reality. The event is part of the USDA’s efforts to attract minorities and young people into farming professions.
“A conversation around agriculture, around food is incomplete unless you have all communities at the table,” says Oscar Gonzalez is the California Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency.
