Seeds of Sovereignty provides an on-the-ground look at how Black women in the U.S., Caribbean, and Africa reclaim agency in food production and farming to improve health outcomes in their communities. The book challenges mainstream public health approaches to addressing food security that emphasize individual-level solutions and interventions without accounting for broader inequities in the food system. Instead, it argues that Black women's approaches to farming and agriculture offer an emancipatory model for rethinking how we organize food systems and develop public health interventions.
