Zusammenfassung:
The current structure of the industrialized food system reproduces injustices across food security, access to resources, land ownership, and health outcomes in low-income communities and communities of colour. For African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) women, who face unique intersectional barriers to participation in agriculture, these disparities are particularly acute. Despite this, the influence of Black farmers has been built into the very foundations of the US agriculture and food systems, and this contribution is largely erased from mainstream food and farming conversations. 'Seeds of Sovereignty' addresses this gap by telling the story of ACB women farmers and their historical and ongoing reclamation of agency in food production.
