Detroit Black Community Food Security Network. Food Insecurity, Food Economy. December 2021
Detroit Black Community
Food Security Network continues to be a leader in building community-based food
initiatives. We operate the seven-acre D-Town Farm, educate young people
through our Food Warriors Youth Development Program and are making significant
progress in developing the Detroit People’s Food Co-op and the Detroit Food
Commons.
"The food economy is the first economy of any society. As we’re
thinking about how we build a more sustainable and just economy, food has to
figure prominently in that.”
Community
ownership, empowerment and access to healthy, sustainable food!
Through this development, we are working to increase access to
healthy, sustainably grown food, while building community ownership and
empowerment.
Located in Detroit’s North End, it will be a unique
cooperative business model, serving an urban, predominately African
American, low and moderate-income community. It will be an economic
driver as the people living in the community will benefit from the money
spent on food in their community.
