D-Town farm is located in Detroit, Michigan and was founded by the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network in 2006. The Detroit Black Community Food Security Networks mission is "to build self-reliance, food security and justice in Detroit’s Black community by influencing public policy, engaging in urban agriculture, promoting healthy eating, encouraging cooperative buying and directing youth towards careers in food-related fields." Their mission is accomplished through their farm, educational and Youth Programs and their Co-op. During this conversation, I spoke to Shakara Tyler, a member of the DBCFSN Board of director's to discuss the mission and the work that DBCFSN does for the community.
“We as African people here in Detroit, many of us, align with the idea of land being a partner, land being a living entity, that cannot be owned.”— shakara tyler, dbcfsn
