We foster an empowering narrative about historically oppressed people's engagement in agriculture and land stewardship, while challenging systemic barriers through discourse. Urban agriculture will be a multigenerational way of life in Columbus, Ohio and beyond. We are collectively rooted through urban agriculture to help improve health outcomes, deepen community engagement and foster economic empowerment via social action in high-BIPOC neighborhoods.
