America's Largest Urban Grower's Conference

Cultivating Black Agriculture

The Future of Black Agriculture

Since 2010, the annual Black Farmers & Urban Gardeners (BUGs) National Conference has reimagined Black futures via the advocacy of food and farm issues. For more than a decade, our team has helped Americans reclaim life through food sovereignty and justice while organizing the country's largest conference dedicated to Black Agriculture.
