As we enjoy the summer season and see the farmers' markets thriving, it's crucial to highlight the resilience and tenacity of Black farmers in Canadian agriculture. I am proud to have overseen the research and writing for a national research study called Africulture: A National Study on Black Farmers. This study interviewed Black farmers from across Canada to explore the challenges they face, solutions for supporting Black-owned farms, and the future of Black farming in Canada. This influential report discusses the lack of access to funding and resources, discrimination, and systemic barriers. Also, exploring different approaches to address these issues, including community support, advocacy, and policy change. Help Black farmers grow this season!

Brown Top millet is a fast growing warm season annual millet that can be harvested in under 2 months to produce heavy yields in optimal weather. With it being a shorter season maturity plant it can also reseed itself in around 60 days. That being said, Brown Top millet works great in a mix as well, filling in gaps where animals have grazed by dropping its seeds. It can be used as hay as well as in grazing situations. https://zurl.co/1iUW

Small-scale producers face several challenges, including limited access to abattoirs for processing livestock. Other challenges for small-scale producers include land availability and affordability, access to markets, and regulatory barriers. Despite these challenges, the small-scale farming sector in Victoria continues to thrive, driven by passionate producers who are committed to sustainable farming practices, community engagement, and delivering high-quality products to consumers. The results and recommendations from the Small Farms Count survey will hopefully provide a greater understanding to policymakers on how to support this important sector's successful growth, prosperity and resilience. The more small-scale farmers and those intending on farming that fill in this survey, the better. The need for reliable data is real.
