We are back! And to welcome us back from hiatus, and joining Stephen in conversation, is Co-Executive Director for the Black Farmer Fund (BFF) Melanie Allen. The BFF is a community-led organization that helps fund and facilitate capital and networking opportunities for Black farmers, land stewards, herbalists, and other food actors.
Melanie sits on a variety of Advisory Boards, and in 2023 became a Castanea Fellow, joining a cohort of food systems actors and leaders across the country. Melanie Allen’s work at the BFF continues to propel dialog surrounding climate change, environmental justice, community investment fund models, and food sovereignty.
Stephen and Melanie chat about the astonishing work that the BFF has already achieved in its short time on the scene while sharing in the joy of witnessing the growing numbers of black agrarians.
