YES. In Baltimore, the Black Church Food Security Network is building a community-centered food system to combat food insecurity and “food apartheid” by connecting Black farmers with historically African-American churches. “We feel that apolitical and ‘color-blind’ approaches to addressing food inequity fly in the face of the statistics, which clearly show that Black people are disproportionately impacted in a negative way by food apartheid, environmental racism, and discrimination in planning and public policy,” says Brown. “To ignore these realities in [so-called] food justice work is a gross miscalculation at best.” http://bit.ly/2QcQ9pR
