Rhizomatic Explorations of Immigrant Growers’ Sense of Belonging Through More-than-Human Relationships in a Community Garden

Urban Farm DB summary

This paper explores immigrant growers' sense of belonging at a community urban farm, moving beyond human-centered integration models. Using ethnographic and participatory methods, it highlights how growers' relationships with crops demonstrate agency and socio-ecological adaptations, arguing that belonging emerges through placemaking relationships with the land and the multispecies community.
