Thinking Globally, Growing Locally

Summary

Global Food Project’s incubator farm helps immigrants to Iowa City build community while preserving cultural ties and traditions. It’s a sunny day at the Global Food Project gardens in Iowa City, Iowa, and Emmanuel Gauthier Mfuankatu is showing off the plot of land where, for the past two years, he has been raising food following Congolese traditions. “Here, I am learning, and I am teaching, using my body and being in the natural world,” Emmanuel says.
