Why Reparations: Repair
The food system was built on the stolen land and stolen labor of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and people of color. Our ecosystem partners, like Black Farmer Fund and National Black Food and Justice Alliance, are claiming our sovereignty and calling for reparations of land and resources so that we can grow nourishing food and distribute it in our communities.
Strengthening the Black Food System Together!
The Black Farmer Ecosystem is a collective of organizations supporting Black Farmers with market access, land access, capital access, education, and training.
We recognize that access to financing, land, training, and technical assistance is limited for Black farmers, and this lack of access has kept Black farmers from owning and successfully operating their farms.
With your support, we can make an impact on the Black food system.
