Imagine the typical American farmer. Many people visualize
sun-roughened skin, faded overalls, and calloused hands-hands that
are usually white. While there's no doubt the growing trend of
organic farming and homesteading is changing how the farmer is
portrayed in mainstream media, farmers of color are still largely
left out of the picture. The Color of Food seeks to rectify this.
By recognizing the critical issues that lie at the intersection of
race and food, this stunning collection of portraits and stories
challenges the status quo of agrarian identity. Author,
photographer, and biracial farmer Natasha Bowens's quest to explore
her own roots in the soil leads her to unearth a larger story,
weaving together the seemingly forgotten history of agriculture for
people of color, the issues they face today, and the culture and
resilience they bring to food and farming. The Color of Food
teaches us that the food and farm movement is about more than
buying local and protecting our soil. It is about preserving
culture and community, digging deeply into the places we've
overlooked, and honoring those who have come before us. Blending
storytelling, photography, oral history, and unique insight, these
pages remind us that true food sovereignty means a place at the
table for everyone. Natasha Bowens is an author, farmer, and
creator of the multimedia project The Color of Food. Her advocacy
focuses on food sovereignty and social issues.
