Kiani Conley-Wilson Empowers Their Community to Remake the Food System | Eater

"Based in Petersburg, New York, this farm is dedicated to equity in access to land, sustenance, and power in the food system, explicitly centering Indigenous and Black rights. Its food-sovereignty programs feed and teach more than 10,000 people a year through a mix of direct-service and structural work: providing raised garden beds to city dwellers, delivering free “solidarity shares” of produce to local residents, and advancing land-return initiatives for northeast farmers. The organization pairs practical training—harvesting, gardening, and distribution—with educational programming that examines the history and ongoing racism of the food system, and it relies on community organizers like Kiani Conley-Wilson to run outreach, empowerment programming, and to inspire others to join the mission." - Jaya Saxena
