Black owned farms make up less than 2 percent of all farms in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to a recent report<\/a>, Black farmers lost 80 percent of their farmland from 1910 to 2007, often because they lacked access to loans or insurance needed to sustain their businesses.<\/p>\n

The report mentions the \u201clong and well-documented history of discrimination against Black farmers by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).\u201d<\/p>\n

It goes on to state that \u201cThe unequal administration of government farm support programs, crucial to protecting farmers from an inherently risky enterprise, has had a profound impact on rural communities of color.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is clear that that Black farmers need help now more than ever. We also need fresh produce they provide. Here is a list of Black owned farms and food gardens that you can support<\/p>\n
