Black Yield Institute believes that the fundamental problem of the local food system is racism/white supremacy, as proven by empirical evidence in the illustration of context. Limited access to healthy, nutrient-rich foods, premature death/lower life expectancy, morbidity and co-morbidity, and lack of land tenure are all functions of the root problem. Transformation in Baltimore’s food system must be led by Black people by engaging in the praxis of collective self-determination. We firmly assert that consistent, strategic, and collective action is necessary, in order to secure political, economic, cultural, spiritual and social capital.
