Journal of agriculture, food systems, and community development 2019 v.8 no.4 pp. 45-60
ISSN:
2152-0801
Subject:
African Americans; agricultural land; ancestry; case studies; extension agents; farmers; sharecropping; teachers; United States
Abstract:
... The oppressive histories of slavery, sharecropping, and discriminatory lending practices contribute to a modern American agricultural landscape where black farmers are underrepresented. While African Americans once made up 14% of the United States’ farmer population, today they only make up 1.4%. Moreover, the American farmer population overall is aging, and currently only 6% of farmers are under ...
