This program examines the dynamics of food sovereignty and land security in the Black community of Philadelphia by exploring the histories of community agriculture, food apartheid, and land tenure. Coupled with community-based activities with local partners, this co-curricular program is designed to be an introduction to ongoing resistance movements and land-based revolutions.

From September 20th-December 17th, 2021, participants will meet weekly to exchange, discuss and engage with foundational readings and resources central to the ideas of food security and  land sovereignty. This land-based program is supplemented by harvesting, planting, seedkeeping, land rebuilding, and food preparation workshops led by local community partners on their farms and gardens every other week.
