“The goal for having these speakers today is to enlighten students and faculty and staff about global food and environmental issues,” said City College professor Riad Bahhur, “and also to kind of make the connection between what’s happening in other places in the world and in Sacramento and California.”

The speakers talked about how big companies affect the farming industry by the treatment of rural farmers and how they’re continually exploiting land used by local farmers. Other topics included the issues of child labor and big business.

The speakers also answered questions from attendees.
