The Black Indigenous People of Color Food and Farming Network strives to improve the production and distribution of food and advocate for and create an equitable system that ensures greater access to locally produced, affordable, nutritious food to historically deprived and under-resourced communities of color. BIPOC’s mission is achieved through the collective work of our network membership, which includes:

• Educational programs that ensure intergenerational transfer of knowledge that advances and upholds traditional Afro-indigenous farming practices.
• The creation of sustainable, economically viable food systems based on sound business models and thriving social enterprises.
• Developing and participating in relevant applied and empirical research.
• Strengthening connections within our network through the creation of meaningful partnerships and community-building strategies that lead to food sovereignty and self-sufficiency.
• Impactful public policy advocacy that supports agricultural and food systems work and workers, and the consumers in the communities we serve and support.
