Black Rootz / Ubele Initiative CIC

Black Rootz is a multigenerational growing project providing opportunities for Black and People of Colour (BPOC) growers in the UK whilst increasing food security and access to culturally appropriate foods. Black Rootz was established in 2019 by a collective of Black growers in Haringey who recognised the need to organise, to challenge the deep inequalities in growing and food systems. Black Rootz has developed a multi-layered and holistic vision for BPOC communities incorporating intergenerational knowledge transfer, increased access to land and food sovereignty, regenerative environmental practices and reduced food inequality.
