PROGRAMS
We believe that Black Food Sovereignty encompasses the intersectionality of agriculture, climate change, environmental justice, and food justice. We recognize that this is an intergenerational effort that requires connecting the community on a local, national, and global level. The Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network (DBCFSN) programs and partnerships reflect this comprehensive approach, working to empower the community, promote sustainable practices, and advocate for policies that address systemic inequities. Through our initiatives, we strive to create a resilient and equitable food system that benefits all generations.
DETROIT BLACK FARMER LAND FUND
We are a coalition of three long-standing Detroit urban farming organizations with a collective mission to rebuild inter-generational land ownership for Black Farmers in Detroit: The Detroit Black Food Sovereignty Network (DBCFSN), Oakland Avenue Urban Farm, and Keep Growing Detroit.
DBCFSN is a proud member of the Congo Beehive Coalition. The coalition represents a group of international NGO and non-profit organizations, partnered to bring hope to communities that have been under severe distress due to a number of reasons including civil wars. We believe beekeeping can empower women and children through a pilot project planned for North Kivu.
