Challenging the status quo of America’s agrarian identity

Hosted by

Ninety-five percent of America’s farmers are white. Natasha Bowens left a job as a public health advocate in Washington, D.C. and headed to the farm to explore racial inequity within agriculture. Bowens’ book, “The Color of Food: Stories of Race, Resilience and Farming,” takes a probing look at the seemingly forgotten history and current issues that still face farmers of color.
