Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture (SHBA)
Returning to the earth to heal from our past.
Through advocacy, transformative education, collaboration, and connecting to nature, Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture (SHBA) addresses the root of health disparities and inequalities in our community.
Our mission is to bring sustainability back into agriculture and it starts with reenlisting the population with the most experience cultivating American soil, Black families. We dive into the many societal pressures that keep Black people from pursuing agriculture careers such as land access, culturally relevant training, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS), and many more.
