Volume III, Issue II Available for Order Now
Welcome to the Land, Food, and Freedom Journal. We envision this journal as an apex of collectively curated efforts to reclaim space, togetherness, kinship, intellectual rigor, healthy debate, and creative expansiveness in all imaginable ways toward Black food sovereignty and liberation. This space is for the dear farmers, loving land stewards, growers, earth lovers, activists, academics, freedom fighters (we hope that’s all of you), artists, intellectuals, street scholars, organizers, cultural workers, culinary artists, and community members. This space is for every one of you, in between and beyond.
OUR PARTNERS
National Black Food & Justice Alliance
Established in 2015, the National Black Food and Justice Alliance (NBFJA) is a coalition of Black-led organizations working to cultivate and advance Black leadership, build institutions for self-determination, and organize for food sovereignty and land justice.
Blackademics is the research arm of the National Black Food and Justice Alliance devoted to developing resources and initiatives to advance and preserve the legacy and impact of Black agrarianism and other food sovereignty aims. It is an interdisciplinary group of scholars that partners to lead research, publish data, and develop public messaging around Black farmers’ and communities’ regenerative practices, local histories, and impacts amidst climate change.
The Agroecology Center is a constellation of hubs that grows and expands practices, develops innovative solutions, and provides cross-institutional support for HBCU land grant institutions and future generations of land stewards to carry forward the food system and climate resilience our communities deserve.
