DID YOU KNOW?
According to the 2007 U.S Census, the African American population in California is 6.7%. (2,450,444).
According to 2007 Agcensus, African American farmers make up less than 1/3 of 1% of all the farmers in California (around 370 farmers in total).
Who will supply healthy food for the African American commmunity?
We asked this question in 1996 at the Mo' Better Food Conference in San Francisco. The Mo' Better Food Conference brought together Black farmers, urban gardeners, church leaders to answer the above question.
We thought naturally, African American farmers should supply healthy food in our neighborhoods. But we really wanted to raise the topic to leave the Mo' Better Food Conference with a community agenda.
Where are the Black farmers?
How many do we have? What do they grow? These were the questions raised during the conference and we left in pursuit to answer.
