What can federal investment in food sovereignty accomplish?

The Biden Administration just announced more than $4.3 million in federal money for a handful of tribes to bolster meat processing.

Officials say the Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture are designed to improve connections to traditional food sources. It’s part of a larger $68 million federal appropriation just announced that includes cooperative land management to improve wildlife habitat and fire protection.
