Abstract

We will be interviewing BIPOC (Black/Indigenous People of Color) individuals and asking them about their early childhood, their introduction to sustainability and/or agriculture, their current commitments/jobs in these fields, and the impact they have made as of now in these fields. Our goal is to figure out what common threads these individuals have in their introduction and interest in sustainability/agriculture in hopes of figuring out what factors they were exposed to in their lives to make them interested in these topics. It is important for my group to find answers to this question because we are both BIPOC individuals who grew interested in sustainability/agriculture without having and prior education or introduction to the matters. We are also interested in spreading awareness of sustainability because it does affect BIPOC communities the most. It vital for us to know how the endangerment of our planet affects us directly so that we may be inclined to practice sustainability and partake in agricultural practices
