In recent history, The USDA Excludes Female Minority Farmers from The American Rescue Plan Funding, Inflation Act and other Equity & Inclusion Resources. The National Women in Agriculture Association Fights for Equality and seeks justice.
The National Women in Agriculture Association (NWIAA ), one of the largest minority, youth, and women-serving agriculture non-profit organizations in the US, is proud to announce a momentous and empowering event taking place on Thursday, September 21, 2023, in Washington D.C. A diverse coalition of farmers, activists, and allies will gather for a historic advocacy march to raise their voices in support of Black women farmers' rights to provide agriculture sustainable life skill opportunities to at-risk-youth as other groups have been receiving for over 100 years. The march will highlight the challenges faced by Black women in agriculture, promote equity and inclusion within the agricultural sector, and seek support for NWIAA to become the first Black congressionally chartered non-profit in the US.
As the agricultural landscape plays a pivotal role in shaping our nation's economy and food security, it is crucial to address the disparities faced by Black women farmers and at-risk-youth, who have historically encountered systemic obstacles and discrimination in securing resources and obtaining land access. NWIAA firmly believes that a more diverse and inclusive agricultural community is essential for sustainable, prosperous, and culturally-relevant farming practices and food security intervention approaches. The advocacy march will begin at Capitol Hill, will move to the Department of Agriculture headquarters, and will conclude in front of the White House, where participants from various backgrounds--including farmers, community leaders, policymakers, and advocates--will gather to express their solidarity and demand concrete actions from lawmakers and agricultural stakeholders. The event will include speeches, testimonies, and performances to showcase the resilience and determination of Black women in agriculture.
Key objectives of the advocacy march include:
1. Raising Awareness : Shedding light on the unique challenges faced by Black women farmers and at-risk-youth, including the limited access to land, resources, and credit; as well as disparities in government support programs.
2. Policy Reforms : Calling for legislative reforms that promote inclusivity, equity, and diversity within the agricultural sector, ensuring equal opportunities and fair treatment for Black women farmers.
3. Economic Empowerment & Development : Advocating for financial support, technical assistance, and educational opportunities that foster the success of Black women in agriculture and enable them to thrive in their chosen profession.
4. Secure a Meeting with Congress : To discuss the charter process, architect the bill, and get it passed so funds may move quickly into our beloved Black communities, which are ready to receive.
NWIAA invites individuals, local and national organizations, congresspeople, and media representatives to join this transformative & informative event by supporting our organization's movement for Black women farmer rights and their push to become the first Black congressionally chartered non-profit in the US.

Shark sightings draw crowds at Busan's North Port
Repeated shark sightings at a waterfront park in Busan’s North Port have drawn crowds of curious visitors, prompting city authorities to step up safety measures while monitoring the sea creature’s return to open waters. A shark estimated to be at least 3 meters long was first spotted at around 8:57 a.m. on Friday in a waterway at the port’s Waterfront Park, according to city officials. Another shark sighting was reported at around 1:05 p.m. the following day. The creature was believed to be a basking shark, a species found in subtropical waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans, including waters off the Korean Peninsula. Although the species is not known to be aggressive, city officials said it could still pose a danger if provoked or approached too closely. The Korea Coast Guard initially tried to guide the shark out of the narrow waterway. But it suspended the effort after the National Institute of Fisheries Science advised that forcing the animal away could trigger defensive or aggressive behavior. Instead of deterring visitors, the unusual sight quickly turned the park
KTX bookings to open 2 months in advance, easing travel for foreign visitors
Tickets for Korea’s high-speed KTX trains will be available for booking up to two months before departure starting next month, extending the current one-month window. Along with the booking window, KTX will introduce a set of operational improvements for foreign travelers next month to make the reservation process more convenient, the government said Sunday. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and KTX operator KORAIL, customers will be able to book seats up to two months in advance starting Oct. 1. The government said the extension is intended to make it easier for travelers to plan trips around the country. For foreign visitors in particular, many book flights to Korea at least two months in advance, but KTX tickets have only been available one month before departure, making it difficult to plan their itinerary within the country. “Travelers will be able to book KTX at the same time as purchasing airline tickets, making it easier to plan domestic trips and use KTX more conveniently,” the ministry said in a press release. “Korean travelers will also be a

Reporter’s note: two Delhis, one weekend – when the world came to dinner
I grew up in Delhi. Not Lutyens’ Delhi, that quieter, greener stretch of tree-lined avenues and high-walled colonial bungalows where the VIPs live. But close enough to know that two cities share one name. One Delhi is generally messy. Rubbish piled into small mountains by the roadside. No footpaths to walk on. Narrow streets marked as one way, with every kind of traffic coming at you from every direction, and then simply stuck. And the dust. Not a film on the windowsill, but something you...
