Detroit Black Community Food Security Network
Detroit, Michigan | 1919-Present
Detroit Black Community Food Security Network was formed in February 2006 to address food insecurity in Detroit’s Black community and to organize members of that community to play a more active leadership role in the local food security movement. DBCFSN is creating model urban agricultural projects that seek to build community self-reliance and to change our consciousness about food.
DBCFSN currently occupies seven acres where they grow more than 30 varieties of fruits and vegetables, practice season extension with three hoop houses, do large-scale composting, keep bees, have a rainwater retention pond and a solar energy station.
