100 Seeds Of Change

In our effort to address the multiple food security needs of the Inglewood and south Los Angeles communities and tackle the challenges of living within a food desert, with the youth from the Black Male Youth Academy (BMYA), our organization has  launched 100 Seeds Of Change, a comprehensive Inglewood based local organic food system initiative. 

The purpose of this initiative is to develop a local sustainable organic food system that is managed and scaled to meet the health, consumption and active living needs of Inglewood and south Los Angeles residents.  With 100 community, school, and home urban gardens, we intend to meet the ever increasing need for nutritious foods in our communities by promoting local production by local empowered youth and residents.

Trainings & Workshops

Educating residents about the importance of creating a healthy and sustainable lifestyle in the community in order to curb the epidemic of food related diseases that exists is an initial priority that has to be achieved in order for this work to be successful.  We have developed cirrocumulus that not only educate the residents about these issues but also empower them to be major parts of the solution that is 100 Seeds Of Change.
