The 2022 Ohio Black Farming Conference is brought to you by Agraria Center for Regenerative Practice, Central State University, Antioch College, and the National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center.

This year's Conference Theme: Roots, Food, and Storytelling will build upon the legacy of our ancestral roots of food from the African diaspora and the power of storytelling through food, family, and American culture.

Our Food. Our Farms. Our Bill.

Note: This event is for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)

Join Donnetta Boykin, founder of Endigo's Herbals and Organics, and Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) in a conversation about the 2023 Farm Bill! The Farm Bill touches every part of our lives-- from the food we grow to the food we eat, and everything in between.

The voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color must be centered as we continue to advocate for equity in the 2023 Farm Bill. BIPOC farmers, the original and global majority of land stewards, carry the knowledge and experience to cultivate a sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural landscape in Ohio. We have the power to demand change to enhance the balance and vitality of our lands and communities.

The conversation will be June 1 from 6-730 p.m. via Zoom. If you have any questions, please contact Heather at heather@oeffa.org.More speakers TBA
