Among the Six Pillars of Food Sovereignty is that "food must be seen primarily as sustenance for the community and only secondarily as something to be sold (pillar #3)."
With invited speakers from Soil Generation and Weavers Way Co-op, PACA is hosting this event to connect our food co-op communities more deeply with the food and land justice/sovereignty efforts being led by black and brown growers and cooperators in the City. Participants will learn about the challenges and opportunities available to black and brown urban farmers in Philadelphia, particularly through land preservation, attainment, and production to market. We'll also explore how one local food co-op is contributing to Philadelphia's urban agriculture movement beyond selling food at the grocery store.
