The Color of Food: preserving stories, celebrating resilience, changing the face of agriculture.
Listen to a conversation about The Color of Food, a multimedia and book project by Natasha Bowens created "to amplify, preserve and celebrate the stories of Black, Latino, Indigenous, and Asian farmers and food activists working to revolutionize the food system in our communities."

We talk about the historical trauma associated with land cultivation in the US but also celebrate the incredible contributions of communities of color to agriculture and food activism. Natasha Bowens shares her personal story becoming a farmer and blogging at Brown.Girl.Farming.
