Black Farmers Index is a not-for-profit (501 (c)(3) committed to providing a more successful consumer-to-Black grower pipeline, as well as, connecting agriculturalists to agencies, institutions, companies, and individual buyers for them to thrive in agribusiness both domestically and globally.

The Index employs four pillars of focus: increase marketing; collect, assess and distribute more accurate information on Black growers; provide resources on pathways for harvesters’ access to capital; and advocate and inform Black agriculturalists on how to acquire farmland. 

The Index drives exposure to Black farmers in the following ways: a comprehensive online directory; social media promotion and short narratives; educational workshops for farmers; food-centered virtual and in-person events; curated farmer lists for individuals and institutions; carefully selected gift box highlighting food-items of growers; feature stories in news or other media outlets; data gathering and reporting; and collaborations with organizations and companies on initiatives.
