Land Stewardship Project has been working for the health and growth of small family farms and practices that restore soil health, and extend the affordable access to land.

In this Deep Roots Radio interview Laura Scheiber, LSP's Government Relations Director, describes the links between public policies and how food is grown and processed. She also argues that policy makers - our elected officials - pay attention to calls, letter and visits from the people who live and work in their districts.

Laura joined LSP in 2018 and helped launch their Local Foods Campaign. Driven by how the farm and food system can be a vehicle for climate action and positive change in people's day to day lives, she was a policy organizer in 2020 leading campaigns on soil health and climate, land access, and regional food systems at the state legislature. In January 2025, Schreiber began to lead LSP's Government Relations work, driving forward LSP's legislative agenda and the state and federal level working with farmers, rural residents and supporters to bring their voices to the Capitol and pass legislation that invests in a more sustainable farm and food system.

Laura is a graduate of University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with degrees in Urban Studies and Public Relations and lives in Northeast Minneapolis with her Springer Spaniel, Sesame.
