    Feeding the Hands that Feed Us - Rick Burnett

    Immokalee is a town in southwest Florida that feeds much of America during the winter.  The population is heavily populated by immigrant labor from Central America and Haiti.  These are the people that harvest our food, yet they lack sufficient healthy food for themselves.  Rick Burnette of Cultivate Abundance works with the Immokalee community to address their food insecurities.  In this podcast he tells us about his challenges and victories in helping put food on the table for those who bring food to our tables.  This podcast is about naming and confronting the injustices in our world.
