Black & Indigenous farmers are responsible for countless contributions to farming as we know it. They do not receive nearly adequate credit for their contributions. Today, Latinx farmworkers are the invisiblized force behind US agriculture.  These same farmers were prevented from owning land, never given land promised to them and face tremendous challenges in securing land today.  Yet, Farmers of Color persevere.  Many are making strides to get back to the land, feed communities, and take control of land, soil, food and more.

​

How can you work for more equity for Farmers of Color?  If you're a Farmer of Color, what inspires you, what do you grow?  Uplift a story about a BIPOC farmer you know.
