The Role of Nonprofits in Amplifying the Work of Organic Farming for Black and Indigenous Farmers Across the Southeast

Abstract

Julianna worked on an organic farm during the summer of 2020 as part of a research project studying the role of nonprofits in amplifying the work of organic farming for Black and Indigenous farmers across the Southeast. At the end of her summer, Julianna decided to take a pandemic break from Duke. She returned to Duke in the fall of 2021, resuming her research into both organic farming and Black and Indigenous land ownership in North Carolina. Julianna also resumed her work as a reporter for PolitiFact North Carolina and worked as a student editor of the 9th Street Journal, a class-run publication that covers local news in Durham.
