Andrew Flachs

In this episode of Foodie Pharmacology, we discuss the vital role of home gardens in diverse economies and social reproduction. Our guests are scholars Andrew Flachs and Ashley Glenn. Andrew, an anthropologist and agrarian studies expert, talks about how gardens support resilient economies in areas with limited formal economic activity, and the critical role of women in these systems. Ashley, an Ethnobotanist, examines the diversity of these gardens and their role in preserving social institutions in difficult economic scenarios. The episode focuses on the role of gardens in fueling social reproduction: keeping social institutions going even as other aspects of the economy would fragment them. We explore sustainable agriculture, botany, and anthropology, understanding the value and potential of home gardens in our economies and ecosystems.  #Bosnia #homegarden #Missouri #gardening #foodways

Bosnian Home Gardens and Foodways with Ashley Glenn and Dr. Andrew Flachs

Ashley has spent his life teaching and mentoring. From his time in the band room to his years spent as an alumni leader of Phi Mu Alpha, Ashley has been an inspiration to those around him, and one of my personal mentors. You will hear Ashley speak about his time in the classroom, the fraternity, and also a hospital bed, because in March of 2013 Ashley lost his right leg. But despite that physical handicap and trauma, he has persevered and gone on to accomplish so many incredible things. Over the decade I’ve known him, he has continued to inspire me, and I have no doubt that you will walk away from this conversation changed for the better.
