Black Farming: Food Justice & Land Stewardship Webinar

Join the San Francisco Foundation and the Commonwealth Club as our Executive Director, Doria Robinson along with Andrea Talley, Worker-Owner of the Mandela Grocery Cooperative and Natalie Baszile, author of Queen Sugar and We Are Each Other’s Harvest will explore the interconnections that surround farming and food access for BIPOC communities.

Black communities have a long and complicated relationship with American soil.  The ongoing call to address systemic racism, patterns of abuse, violence and dispossession have brought back to mainstream the conversation of BIPOC communities historical connections to land. 

What are the connections between this history and current food apartheid (food deserts)?  How is the Black farming movement connected to changes in larger food systems and the growth of worker cooperatives? How are people incorporating environmental sustainability into their work? And, what can we learn from both the rich history of resistance and current strategies to inform how we resource a world where all people have access to healthy, fresh, and locally sourced food?
