Episode 112 - Ashley Smith, Black Soil
from Think Humanities Hosted by Think Humanities
Host Bill Goodman is joined by Black Soil's Ashley Smith. Representing 1.4% of the primary farm operators in the state, black farmers account for less than 600 of the more than 76,000 agricultural operations in Kentucky. Black Soil's mission is to reconnect black Kentuckians to their legacy and heritage in agriculture. By bringing together urban families with rural and urban based black farmers/growers/producers across the state, Black Soil helps introduce opportunities in agriculture that promote self-sufficiency, encourage healthy living, and activate cooperative economics. Black Soil seeks to help foster a greater market share for black farmers and producers as they provide healthy food options to a larger consumer base.
