West Farms 10460: Cooperative Economics, Community Farming, and Food Justice

Karen Washington, community gardener, longtime food justice advocate, board member of the New York Botanical Gardens, and board president of Green Worker Cooperatives, discusses her work addressing "food apartheid" in the Bronx and around the country.

Also on @BrianLehrer: They're not "food deserts." It's "food apartheid."

Thank you for this conversation. Learning a lot from Ms. Washington. Following her, starting now. (At first I thought she was one of the mayoral candidates, and I said to myself, "She's making a lot of sense!")

Listening to @karwasher on @BrianLehrer Show, as she drops wisdom on challenges she faced launching Fresh Food Box/Farmer's Market in West Farms. Inspiration for me as I continue my #foodjustice journey: https://t.co/EcdyJZ4a8l
