Since 1996, Mo' Better Food has been working with the African American farmers of California to reconnect their produce to the food system of the West Oakland community.

If you are one of the 30,000 Black farmers in the United States, we ask that you fill out our survey. We would like to know who are, what you grow, and how we can assist you in continuing the tradition of farming within the African American community. Currently, African American farmers make up less than 2% of the nations farmers.

Partnering Black farmers with food grown within our urban communities, we believe, can reverse the current unhealthy ills of food insecure neighborhoods plaguing Black America, while creating jobs and economic growth within our communities.

We call it, building Healthy Economics!

Over the past month, Mo' Better Food is very honored to be recognized and/or to participate in a few events we would like to share.

The Top image (left) is the flyer for this coming Wednesday, October 18th. I will be visiting the Black House @ Stanford University and discuss Healthy Economics as part of an international Food Day celebration presented by the NAACP Environmental Justice Subgroup at the Black House.

On October 24th, 2011, (the official Food Day) we will launch The Four Steps of Hotep- The Educational Kit for Building Healthy Economics in any community.

This 28 page ebook will go on sale for $3.00 @ this link.
