Detroit Food Commons: Pioneering a New Era of Community Health and Food Accessibility
The Detroit Food Commons is a two-story, 31,000 Sq. Ft. community development project spearheaded by the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network and our partner, Develop Detroit, Incorporated. We chose Black-owned companies L.S. Brinker Construction and architect SDG Associates to bring the vision of the Detroit Food Commons into reality. The $22 million project required multiple funding streams, including donations, grants, and loans.
WHO WE ARE
The Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network (DBCFSN) was established to ensure that Detroit’s African American population plays a significant role in the local food movement. Given that African Americans constitute most of Detroit’s population, DBCFSN aims to position them in leadership roles within this movement. Our commitment to Black food sovereignty and environmental and climate justice has expanded nationally and globally. Through our initiatives, we strive to create sustainable, equitable food systems and advocate for policies that address the unique challenges faced by Black communities in Detroit and beyond.
