Climate and Food Justice Forum: Building Connections between New York and Puerto Rico

New York and Puerto Rico are home to some of the most climate vulnerable communities in the United States.

The forum will explore that connection, highlighting how farmers and activists in both regions are developing climate smart alternatives to conventional agriculture.
