In the bustling heart of major urban areas, where towering skyscrapers meet pockets of lush greenery, urban farming isn't just a passing trend—it's a potent force for change. With a steadfast commitment to sustainability and community empowerment, individuals like Amico are planting the seeds of transformation and harvesting hope in neighborhoods craving fresh produce and renewal.
As we uncover the historical narrative of Black farmers' resilience and resourcefulness in tilling the land, spanning from the challenges of agrarian eras to today's urban landscapes, we pay homage to the enduring legacy of agricultural wisdom passed down through generations. This legacy finds vibrant expression in the hands of contemporary pioneers like our esteemed guest, Jeremy "Amico” Amico.
Get ready to be inspired as we journey into the vibrant realm of urban farming at the heart of Atlanta. Having cultivated over 10,000 pounds of food for the community, Amico now stands as the visionary founder of Amico's Farm, nurturing abundance under his own leadership.
