Ibrahim Ali Advocates for Urban Agriculture on WHMP

Content

Ibrahim Ali, an urban agriculture educator within the Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment, recently discussed the importance of urban agriculture with the radio station WHMP.

“Usually, when people talk about urban agriculture, they talk about the way in which the lack of food availability is almost like an accident, like it happened as happenstance,” he says. “But many people who are the thinkers around this movement have come to the understanding that it’s more accurately described as food apartheid, meaning that…it’s almost a direct result of the lack of initiative to provide access in a way that the people themselves have some autonomy in what it is that they’re eating.”
