Ep25: Raqueeb Bey on Urban Agriculture & Community Organizing

Plant Cunning Podcast

Queeba is a urban agriculturalist, community organizer and mother living in Pittsburgh, PA. In this episode, we speak with her about the wonder of bees, how to engage children with growing their own food, working on collective projects, the importance of food access, working with heavy metal contamination in city soils, and starting a community food co-op in Homewood. As she says, "I'm stubborn about my goals, but flexible about my methods."
