Futurists in Farming and Agriculture
Building a new framework for resiliency in Urban Agriculture, Forestry & Heirs Property
The mission for Futurists in Farming and Agriculture is to nurture the next generation of self-sufficient young farmers capable of contributing to restorative justice and advocating for positive change. By expanding education and key resources, we aim to help remove socio-economic barriers that traditionally perpetuate food apartheid in underrepresented BIPOC communities.
Collaboration and Innovation
Futurists in Farming and Agriculture is an educational platform for new and beginning farmers seeking culturally-appropriate technical assistance.
