Updates from Rē / Figs / Fall Into Balance 2022 / Translating Food Sovereignty / Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture / Solastalgia / Migration and Belonging / Mushrooms / Systemic Racism
In this week’s newsletter, we explore a variety of topics. From uncovering earth’s underground metabolism to racial justice campaigns, we sow seeds of understanding ecological and cultural systems alike.
Last week, intern Anthony DiPreta and co-director Dr. Felix Bivens rooted cuttings from our fig tree to share with others in our community. The original cutting that started our fig tree (pictured above) came from Dr. Biven’s grandparents’ home in Arkansas and can be traced back more than three generations.

With this week’s heavy rains, our Tennessee fig tree ripened early and we were happy to donate about five lbs of fresh figs to our local food bank, the Hands of Mercy food bank in Fayetteville, TN.

Understanding, much like fig trees, can root and fruit. It is our humble hope for this newsletter to serve as biweekly fodder to consider the communities and complexities around us.
