Black Farmers & Urban Gardeners National Conference 2022

Atlanta, GA - Georgia State University

October 14-16, 2022

Black Urban Growers (BUGs) and its partners are pleased to present the 10th Annual Black Farmers & Urban Gardeners (BUGS) Conference, convening urban and rural farmers, students, chefs, food product makers, herbalists, nutritionists, consumers, policymakers, educators, activists and organizations from across the country.

Reunion, Recovery and Resilience: Preserving Black Land and Reclaiming Self-Determination is the theme of this year’s conference. Through engaging and participatory workshops, panel discussions and networking events, we will once again explore the Southern roots of Black Agriculture and its connections and influence on today’s movements for Black food sovereignty. The conference will also provide hands-on, skill-building workshops on sustainable agriculture education including soil health, land reclamation, financial literacy, seeds saving, and other related topics.
