The Kara-Kata Africa Village Project (KAVP), a pilot project from Kara-Kata Afrobeat Society of Canada, is designed to return the Black community to our roots of farming by inspiring and educating new and settled people to take up farming as a sustainable economic opportunity, as well as being able to grow and sell culturally appropriate foods for our community’s health and well being. To eat the foods we are accustomed to. “Grow what we eat, and eat what we grow”. This is the only project of its kind supporting and led by the black community in this way. The Canadian Black Farmers Association has also been created under our umbrella to advocate for our project and community.
