USDA Dedicates Employees to Support Black Farmers?
"The Agriculture Capitol of the World" does not provide for local residents of African descent. California Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association seeks a collaborative solution to the 2007 U.S. Farm Bill. Urban Agricultural experts nationwide must work together to feed, cloth, shelter and educate our 'at risk' communities.
California Black Farmers continue to face a uphill battle. Will Scott, Black Farmer leader based in West Fresno, California provides a wonderful success story.

Oakland, San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento and other billion dollar urban agriculture markets continue to face exclusionary practices by a 'California Grown' nationwide brand.
