Acres: Cultivating Equity in Black Agriculture
The Acres program (formally known as the Black Farmers Equity Initiative) was established by NMSDC in partnership with Cargill and is a twelve-week program designed to help African Americans in the agriculture industry grow their capacity to take on major national contracts with corporate members. Today, Walmart and UNFI have joined the initiative to help NMSDC expand the program to reach more Black farmers across the U.S.
