In the 1900’s, there were one million Black farmers in America and former slaves and their descendants had amassed 14 million acres of land. In the last 100 years, 90 percent of that land has been lost. Today only 45,000 of the nation’s 3.4 million farmers are Black. Jared Blumenfeld travels to the Central Valley to meet with Will Scott Jr who is the President of the African American Farmers of California, and with Shirley Rowe a lifelong teacher who now farms Alfalfa in Lemoore California. The work that Will and Shirley are doing is critical to help support the next generation of African American farmers and reminds us how deeply the roots of systemic racism are intertwined with agriculture. Reestablishing our connection to farmers of color through the food they produce is one critical way we can all help.
