From building small communities to solving environmental issues, farmers stand at the center of solutions to national problems, says Cornelius Blanding, executive director of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives Land Assistance Fund, a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative association of Black farmers, landowners, and cooperatives.   “Farmers are at the heart of the solutions of our country,” said Blanding in a Dairy Defined podcast episode released today. “They're probably one of the most important pieces of our nation, and it's about time for us as a country to understand that.”
