Today we celebrate the beginning of Black History Month. We celebrate the amazing contributions that black farmers and gardeners have made to our food systems. We acknowledge the injustices - past and present - that they have faced. And we commit to growing a just future together. George Washington Carver is one of the most influential American agricultural scientists – a pioneer of organic farming techniques, an early environmentalist, and a champion for black farmers and southern agriculture. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #bhm #foodjustice
