Courtney Brown – Making the Connection: African American Agriculture & Regenerative Solutions

For generations, African Americans have made significant contributions to the world of agriculture but there are currently less than 50,000 African American farmers in the United States. This challenge paired with the current disparities of this community in the areas of wealth, health, food access, and land ownership leaves much reason for concern. As it is an exciting time for the regenerative agriculture movement, it is critically important that we develop regenerative agricultural solutions that would help combat many of the issues plaguing the African American community. In this session, Courtney will highlight several areas that support the push of using agriculture for social change.
