"Join the growing Army of Black Women Farmers or Become an Ambassador and help build the Database of 1 Million Black Women in Ag! We grow at our homes, on our land and help our elders grow too. We are registered Farmers with USDA and are making change in the most important industry in the world together."
Through our programs, Black Farmers are increasing their numbers nationwide to heal our culture, our finances, and our bodies through the food we eat and the land we love. I am grateful to say I established the first and only national agriculture organization for Black Women in. Our nationwide advocacy organization gives us shoulders to stand on. Black Men in Ag, we didn't leave you out! We organize and stand with you! Our numbers are increasing fast and I am here for every twist and turn as your sister in Ag. I promote equity for all disadvantaged farmers no matter their race and we all understand the importance of Black Agriculture. The seed is planted and we are all watering and nourishing it.

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.

Its the youth, the mothers, the hidden trail blazers, and the future for us! Black Women are the smallest part of the most important industry in America... Agriculture.
