South Africa Unveils Budget Transforming Black Farmer Inclusion
Efforts to support and transform farming communities, particularly for Black and smallholder farmers, are gaining renewed focus in various regions. In Mississippi's Delta, Pastor Bennie Brown and others are working to revive the Swan Lake Association, a historic Black farmers’ cooperative that once provided land access and community support, aiming to train new generations despite a decline in Black land ownership nationwide. Similarly, South Africa's 2025/26 agricultural budget emphasizes inclusivity through initiatives like the Blended Finance Scheme, fostering partnerships between emerging Black farmers and established commercial producers to create a more equitable food system. In the U.S., Ohio farmers advocate for federal policy reforms under President Donald Trump's administration to promote healthier food production, suggesting shifts in government procurement, subsidies favoring fruits and vegetables, and renegotiations of trade agreements to prioritize American products. These diverse approaches reflect a growing recognition of the need for systemic change to address historical inequities and improve agricultural sustainability and health outcomes. Meanwhile, educational programs like those from Kansas State University continue to provide practical support and knowledge to farmers, complementing broader policy and community-driven efforts.
