This report is specifically targeted to emerging and small-scale farmers who want to supply food to low-income communities without compromising their financial sustainability. While I’m credited as the lead author on this report, such an attribution is a misnomer of the highest order. Every facet of this report is very much the product of a collective effort with Brenna Reagan and Leah Penniman of Soul Fire Farm; I’m proud to say that I cannot claim primary authorship.
