Lola Hampton-Frank Pinder Center for Agroecology Launch Weekend
On behalf of the National Black Food & Justice Alliance and Florida A&M University, we thank you for celebrating the launch of the Lola Hampton-Frank Pinder Center for Agroecology with us on the campus of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida this November. This inaugural center at FAMU, the first projected in the next 20 years, is a critical intervention in research, training and steering the next generation of farmers and land stewardship practices away from extraction and harm and towards practices that will recover our systems, heal our communities and lend towards the remediation of climate catastrophes.
Follow the Food
Directed by tabia lisenbee-parker, Follow the Food intimately captures the planning, growing, and preparation of the culturally rich ingredients and dishes served during the Lola Hampton-Frank Pinder Center for Agroecology stakeholder dinner, A Black Farm Affair. This visual-telling grounds viewers in the richness of Tallahassee’s hyperlocal and local food culture as well as facilitates a valuable connection to the agrarians, community organizers, and chefs that make it all possible.
