Agriculture, Migrant Workers, and Faith – perspectives and learnings from our own backyard

By examining the work of Cultivate Abundance and Misión Peniel, we can gain valuable insights into how agriculture, migrant workers, and faith intersect to create meaningful change. These organizations address food insecurity and support migrant farmworker communities through faith-based initiatives, driven by a social justice and advocacy lens. We will explore how sustainable agriculture practices, culturally appropriate food distribution, and compassionate service transform lives and foster community resilience. We will gain valuable perspectives and practical learnings that highlight the power of faith-based efforts in creating meaningful change right in our backyard.
