Innovative farm immersion programs are possible when we look at our communities not as a divide between urban and rural, but rather as a bridge.

Intertwined by food, business, family and so much more, every day we pass by folks whose lives have been blessed because of the gift of amnesty.

Our goal should be to celebrate various identities and not let privilege get in the way of bridging gaps of understanding for the agriculture industry.

I believe that the future can be something bigger than us all — and possible through naming the issues and conversing about diversity in agriculture.
