farmer’s market

Eating locally grown food has improved my health, increased my energy level and put more money in my wallet. I’m extremely lucky to have a local farmer’s market in my community because fresh food isn’t available to everyone in the U.S.

It’s inspiring to see organizations, like Growing Food for Justice, helping impoverished communities.

The Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative is a new initiative aimed at dismantling racism and empowering low-income and communities of color through sustainable and local agriculture.

This comprehensive network views dismantling racism as a core principal which brings together social change agents from diverse sectors working to bring about new, healthy and sustainable food systems and supporting and building multicultural leadership in impoverished communities throughout the world.

The vision for this initiative is to establish a powerful network of individuals, organizations and community based entities all working toward a food secure and just world.
