EMERGE Contributor Q&A ~ Emma Zimmerman
I was reading about farmers’ pandemic experiences and noticed that many outlets painted a picture of absolute despair. I am also intrigued by how the media romanticizes the lives of small-scale, sustainable farmers. I think both generalizations—romantics and despair—do a disservice to the complex lives of the people so crucial to our health and the health of the planet. I wanted to write a more complex account, and I wanted to focus specifically on those who feed the city I love.
