Build Community Gardens
Reclaim land, restore ancestral wisdom, and feed people with justice.
What’s Broken
In many neighborhoods, fresh produce is harder to find than fast food. This is food apartheid.
The Fix
Support Black, Indigenous, and minority farmers. Learn from leaders like Karen Washington (Black Urban Growers) and Leah Penniman (Soul Fire Farm).
