- 요약This dissertation examines the everyday practices of food sharing as care and gardening as food sovereignty within the food acquisition strategies of immigrant farmworkers, specifically women, in Immokalee, Florida. In collaboration with Cultivate Abundance, a local community garden, this ethnographic project centers the ways in which farmworkers from Haiti, Guatemala, and Mexico navigate life amid the impact of an unequal food system rooted in isolation, systemic racism, and classism, a phenomenon known as food apartheid. Uniquely positioned as the laborers and consumers of the industrial food system, the food acquisition of farmworkers in Immokalee goes beyond grocery stores: it extends into acts of food sharing, gardening, and placemaking to construct their food landscapes."Aqui, nadie se muere de hambre" brings attention to the time and money expended in "the choreography of everyday food acquisition": the hyper-mobile food acquisition strategy in which farmworkers travel across Immokalee and Southwest Florida to shop for food. It illuminates how farmworkers' shared situaciones (Spa., precarious statuses including economic, immigration, etc.) shape this choreography. By being attuned to their situaciones, care emerges in farmworkers' shared rides to neighboring big-box retail stores, the relaying of information about upcoming local food pantries, the food intercambios (Spa., sharing of food) using food from their workplaces, and the seed exchanges between friends and neighbors. These acts of care transform into gestures of love, revealing how farmworkers are active participants in their food acquisition strategies. Throughout this dissertation, I focus on the "everyday" to bring attention to how this constant movement of food has become ordinary to farmworkers in Immokalee. This project captures the power of immigrant farmworkers' relation-making abilities, their motivations to care for one another, and their visions of a food future where they too can access and grow food with the tastes of home.
