Episode 356. Soil-to-Skin: Tameka Peoples of Seed2Shirt Shares Her Journey
This episode of Voices from the Field continues our Soil-to-Skin podcast series, in which NCAT Carbon Farm Planners Allison Agee-Cooley and Danielle Duni explore the relationships between soil health, fiber production, and market solutions.
It is part of NCAT’s Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership with Colorado State University, Carbon Cycle Institute, Fibershed, Seed2Shirt, and New York Textile Lab. The Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership is funded by USDA’s Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities.
Today, Allison and Danielle talk with Tameka Peoples of Seed2Shirt as she walks us through her journey to source a T-shirt made by a black company that included cotton sourced from African or African American farmers and how that journey led her to develop a global cotton merchant company.
