"Many of the farmers talked about the ability to be out in nature with other members of their family and other members of their community and several of them also talked about the benefits of being able to interact with people from other comunities."
This week on the show, we talk with geographer Pablo Bose about innovative resettlement projects that help refugees connect with familiar foods from home, through gardening in community with others.
Pablo Bose is a fellow at the Gund Institute for Environment, Professor of Geography and Geosciences, Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Education in the College of Arts and Sciences and Director of the Global and Regional Studies Program at the University of Vermont.
He visited the Indiana University campus in September, 2024 for a talk with the Center For Refugee Studies, Department of Geography and Ostrom Workshop- Food and Agrarian Systems Program.
