Young Farmers Podcast

This week, NYFC's Michelle Hughes interviews Leah Penniman, co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, food justice activist, and author of the new book "Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land." Leah talks about her history, her spirituality, and her work training the next generation of black and brown farmers to build a more sustainable and equitable food system. “Black people have a history in regenerative agriculture that is not circumscribed by slavery, share cropping, and tenant farming. We have tens of thousands of years of history innovating and coming up with dignified solutions to solving hunger in our communities without destroying the planet.” NYFC members get 35% off of Leah's book at Chelsea Green Publishing, join today! www.youngfarmers.org/join Soul Fire Farm: http://www.soulfirefarm.org/ Farming While Black at Chelsea Green: https://media.chelseagreen.com/product/farming-while-black/
