Feeding a Crowd

Transforming the South

In this section it describes more of the hardships Black farmers need to go through compared to their White counterparts. I find it disheartening that they need to go through so much more work. To clarify, it is much more difficult for Black farmers to sell organic produce. While some farmers have the option of not getting USDA certified and just having a sign saying it's grown chemical free or all natural, Black farmers lack trust from consumers--making them need to invest much more time to get a certification. This is simply unfair and troubles me.
