The goal of the program is to identify and connect individuals from marginalized communities to farmable land. Land access, is not the only goal, the program centers itself on an equity-based approach to providing individuals with a background in agriculture the literal tools they need to succeed. It was created out of a direct necessity to address systemic inequality within the farming community and the food-supply chain at the local level. This program is designed to generate economic growth by satisfying local demand of culturally relevant crops, with a portion of this bounty returning to feed iowa firsts distribution program.”
