More good stories from our Get Climate Smart training series!
"Everyone should know how to grow their own food," shares Nallah Muhammed of Peaceful Seeds at Warnersville Community Farm in Greensboro, North Carolina. The farm not only grows food for the community, but nourishes minds and creates connections, too. Peaceful Seeds Farm works to return the land to the historic Warnersville Community through ag education and mutual aid. AFT's Women for the Land program collaborated with Black Family Land Trust, North Carolina State University Extension’s Local Food Program, and consultant Grace Summers to host our first cohort training in North Carolina from February to October 2023, funded by North Carolina USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Our cohort focused on connecting BIPOC farmers and producers with resources to extend their farming operations, promoting a more resilient food and agricultural system in the state. We aimed to: ✔️ Empower participants to implement climate-smart agricultural conservation practices and skills ✔️ Increase technical skills around diversifying production and marketing systems for more significant economic and healthy food systems’ resilience ✔️ Develop leadership skills to build community resilience around food and agriculture Learn more at https://bit.ly/3Uv8Xo0.
