This Friday (3pm CT) PReP Rural will be sponsoring an event on "Exiting Plantation Economics". What does land access have to do with COVID-19? Agrobiodiversity keeps deadly pathogens from emerging in the first place. But such emergent biocontrol requires new models of production and a generation of diverse farmers with access to land they've largely been locked out of. Come join us for a conversation with Noah McDonald, a multi-generational Black farmer and researcher working at the Southeastern African American Farmers' Organic Network, and Carrie Freshour, a geographer studying food and ag labor in the South, racial capitalism, carceral geographies, and the Black radical tradition. If you're interested in attending, please email PReP Rural's Laura Thomas ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and she'll ping you back an event link. And please feel free to forward the attached poster. Cheers, Rob Wallace PReP organizer [cid:[log in to unmask]] Julie Cotton, M.S. Academic Specialist, Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Dept.
