The 2007 Farm Bill debate has been expanded to include those socially disadvantaged communities directly impacted by our rapidly changing 1 trillion dollar U.S. food industry.

California Bay Area elected officials have set an agenda for our U.S. Farm and Food government policy to address long overdue structural foundational changes at our USDA that challenge the current disparity of 'Race and Poverty in America.'

Daily reports on the lack of safety within of our U.S. food supply and the historic lack of access to quality, fruit and vegetables in Black commuities worldwide demand utilization of a historic scientific approach that embraces cultural authenticity.

A global paradigm shift towards regional communities taking responsibility for producing the food, fiber, fuel and finances that are an essential foundation for healthy communities is beginning to happen. Local communites will be supported by U.S. public policy resources as a greater share of elected officials are held accountable to vote to support healthy communities within member districts.

Equitable global food politics requires local solutions with global conversations that expand current reality beyond a economic opportunity for mulit-national corporations in a WTO construct.

Global epedemic levels of adverse health impacts directly related to daily diet opportunity must be changed to achieve a higher standard of living for all the world citizens.

Sacred African Culture provides us with precise scientific methodology to restore "Agriculture as the Foundation of our Culture." Biblical prophecy speaks of a return to Nile Valley Civilizations for solutions to a healthy tomorrow.

You are welcome to join us to recall the ancient teaching of...
"Give us this day our daily bread" and why public policy should support our cultural choice of community grown food systems.

Sunday afternoon activities include information about:

Mandela Farmers Market, Ecovillage Farm, Black Farmers Class Action Lawsuit,
Endangered Black Farmers Act, 2007 Farm Bill Debate to begin our
National Agriculture Week, March 18-24, 2007.

Come enjoy our healthy Soul Food Buffet in
a healing atmosphere of Sacred African Culture.
