2nd Annual Black Farmers & Urban Gardeners Conference: Growing Wealth, Health and Justice

The Black Farmers and Urban Gardeners Conference connects growers, eaters and organizations across the country to nurture the health and well being of Black America and the environment as a whole.   Attendees explore issues of race, class, health and food through panel discussions, workshops, films and conversations.  Resources are exchanged.  Ideas are pollinated.  Solutions are born.

The second annual conference will be held from October 14 - 16, 2011 at Hostos Community College in Bronx, New York.

The Black Farmers and Urban Gardeners Conference is organized by Black Urban Growers (BUGs), an organization committed to building networks and community support for growers in both urban and rural settings.  Through education and advocacy around food and farm issues, we nurture collective black leadership to ensure we have a seat at the table.
