TEDxFruitvale - Will Scott - Bring Back Black Farmers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- Slavery left a bad taste in most African-Americans' mouth when it comes to farming. But as Will Scott points out, when we eat together, we don't fight. This nation needs more small farmers, more people growing food in general - black and white.
About Will Scott, president of the African American Farmers of California:
Will was born in Oklahoma to a family of sharecroppers; his parents moved to Fresno, CA, in the 1940s, where they continued to farm. After enlisting in the Navy, Will served in Vietnam aboard a submarine; later, when he retired, he bought 40 acres near Fresno and began to farm in earnest again. He grows Southern staples such as black-eyed peas and collard greens, which he sells at farmers' markets in Fresno and West Oakland. He is the president of the African American Farmers of California, which runs a 15-acre demonstration and education farm to interest African-American kids in agriculture.
This talk is part of Session One: Meet for TEDxFruitvale, which was held on October 14, 2011 at Mills College in Oakland, CA. The conference's theme was Harvesting Change, and it focused on farmworkers, labor and other social justice movements, and fair labor practices in business. www.tedxfruitva...

Profound insight. We have an Urban Farms Cooperative here in Michigan. This Lecture is very empowering. Thank you for sharing.
Love to listen to my elders sharing life and growth. I loved how he started out with a Dad joke like we are all his kids😊
Will is a terrific storyteller. Very inspiring talk!
I just love to sit back and listen to my elders, it don't even matter what he talking about but since he is talking about farming, now I want to farm lol
Thank you Mr. Will Scott, for your wisdom. I couldn't agree with you more. Watching this video was so inspiring and uplifting in many ways.
wonderful man, wonderful message
I'm glad that gave this African American farmer, tell his story to not only African Americans, but also other farmers as well.
So amazing to hear him speak on this. I've been saying this for years. As I look around while working in my industry I realize i am a minority in this business also.
May God Bless California and Mr Will Scott
I think many young people in the urban cities need to venture out into this profession. A farmer's life is hard work, but also rewarding. Farmers give back to society in a very positive and rewarding way. Like he stated,' food is essential and brings people together'. Only four hundred black farmers in California, that is a very low count for a big state like California. God bless the farmers. Without them, we would not have fresh food at our tables! I do support local farmers!

Outstanding talk. Very positive with great points.
🥰 my grandma and her sisters taught me to farm
We have to empower ourselves and be best friends to ourselves. We have to make it profitable to serve our interests. That will make it impossible not to do so.
Im interested in advocacy for our farmers because it is our legacy.
Yes! you need all the races to grow and work together and share a hearty meal, together.
I thank you for great lecturer I wish I was on a farm today we are the best farmers we gotten jaded off farm land now out of the cities we have to produce goods and products and services for the nation not all these other nations and peoples blacks the food and things will be better

Do it
Me too
We agree. Its coming in 2020. Ok
When we come into agreement god takes over our request ok
Love this!🌻🍏🌽🥬
Very good and important message
I wonder if these people know of anyone who can help those of us who wanna be more self sustainable and self reliant by farming our own man raising our own animals for food just at the present Lana so high these days. And by help I just mean guidance on good locations to buy land for reasonable or inexpensive prices or even homesteads and farms that are already working but then again I do wonder what's considered reasonable
Wish he was my grandpa
