Vegan food is booming in coastal cities, but the same can’t be said for other parts of the country. And access to fresh and culturally relevant food across the U.S. hinges on a broader understanding of non-White vegan food traditions. As the market for vegan food swells, a deeper understanding of Black plant-based food histories becomes even more crucial. With imported foreign food remaining heavily subsidized in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean today, Rasta farmers keep organic, locally grown food alive. Progress happens when more scholars, influencers, and food critics of color reclaim their plant-based food histories—unlocking more inclusive possibilities for all diners.
