SAAFON understands that we are engaged in work to build a social movement that begins with food and land justice, and extends to the empowerment of all Black people. As such, our work is informed, enriched, and co – created through deep, strategic partnerships.
National Black Food and Justice Alliance (NBFJA) is a coalition of Black-led organizations working towards cultivating and advancing Black leadership, building Black self – determination, Black institution building and organizing for food sovereignty, land and justice. The Alliance seeks to achieve this by engaging in broad-based coalition organizing for black food and land, increasing visibility of Black led narratives and work, advancing Black led visions for just and sustainable communities, and building capacity for self – determination within our local, national, and international food systems and land rights work. The coalition focuses its work on black food sovereignty, self – determining food economies, and land. They approach food sovereignty, land and self – determining food economies through the lens of healing, organizing, resistance against anti – Blackness.
The US Food Sovereignty Alliance (USFSA) works to end poverty, rebuild local food economies, and assert democratic control over the food system. We believe all people have the right to healthy, culturally appropriate food, produced in an ecologically sound manner. As a US-based alliance of food justice, anti-hunger, labor, environmental, faith-based, and food producer groups, we uphold the right to food as a basic human right and work to connect our local and national struggles to the international movement
for food sovereignty.
