This piece is a part of our series Earthseed, which explores Parable of the Sower’s legacy in shaping our current attitudes toward food futures.
For the fourth installment of MOLD Magazine’s Earthseed Bookclub, we discuss chapters 21-25 of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower with food sovereignty worker Khalil Griffith. Khalil is currently the Community Engagement Coordinator at Seattle’s Georgetown Steam Plant. In this talk he explains how Parable of the Sower shaped his work with food forests and community building as the Site and Programs director at Beacon Food Forest. You can read more about his work in Planting a Food Forest, an interview with MOLD Editor in Chief LinYee Yuan. Revisit the conversation and the book club discussion below:
