Penniman’s book—part agricultural guide, part revolutionary manifesto—is meant to empower Brown and Black farmers to regain what she calls "food sovereignty." Penniman explains how the current agricultural system reinforces racial inequality, and she also gives would-be farmers the tools they need to break free from it. Along with her husband Jonah Vitale-Wolff (@jvitalewolff), Penniman also runs @SoulFireFarm, an 80-acre nonprofit organic farm in Grafton, New York, which has become an important training center for farmers of color. “We use Afro-indigenous and regenerative practices—fancy words that essentially mean we’re trying to farm using the best advice of our ancestors and we’re trying to farm in a way that actually makes the environment better and not worse,” she says. At the link in our bio, on her 24th season, the author talks growing food, and empowering Black and Brown farmers, in a time of plague and racial reckoning.
