INCREASING THE NUMBER OF BLACK WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE IS VITAL
Food Security, Sisterhood, and the Future of Agriculture
We are building a "Growing Army". We have to produce alot of food in a short amount of time. According to the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations, to satisfy the expected food and feed demand, we will require a substantial increase of global food production of 70 percent by 2050, and will be here before we know it. That means we need more farmers!
Black women are the most underutilized asset in agriculture but it is imperative that we become a more productive part of feeding the world from the ground up. We naturally feed our children, families, and communities. Now it's time to feed the world while making positive, socioeconomic changes to our culture in the process.
