National Black Farmers and Black Agriculturalists join the 40th Congressional Black Caucus Celebration. In our nation's capitol, the ongoing journey to provide Healthy Solutions in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture continues.

Yes, it is true; we are continuing to develop a National Plan to rebuild Black Agriculture as the Foundation of Black Culture in America and expand U.S. Africa Trade and Commerce. In 1910, nearly one million Black Farmers in the U.S. represented nearly 15% of all U.S. Farmers. Today in 2010 there are less than 30,000 Black Farmers in the U.S. representing less than 1% of all U.S. Farmers.

We need a paradigm shift toward providing Healthy Solutions to epidemic levels of diet related disease in our communities nationwide.

Join members of President Obama’s Administration, U.S. Congressional Leaders, National Faith Based Leaders, National Black Farmers, Global Financial Industry Leaders and USDA Officials who will come together to craft a framework toward a coherent transparent National plan of action.
