SUMMARY:Regenerative Agriculture and Textiles Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:Founder Tameka Peoples will be a speaker at this year’s Regenerative Agriculture and Textiles Summit in DC along with our BLACKollective fellow Kyle Bridgeforth. \n\n\n\nEmploying over 3.4 billion people globally\, the fashion and textiles industry is estimated to generate over $1.7 trillion in 2023. With 87% of fiber input incinerated or disposed in landfills\, the industry makes up 10% of global carbon emissions and is expected to surge more than 50% by 2030. \n\n\n\nAlthough some leading brands are answering calls for more sustainable materials and products\, sustaining the current conditions of our planet is no longer enough. The need to go beyond sustainability and transition towards restoring and regenerating our lands is now paramount. Pressures for change and the climate crisis have significantly increased the need to transition ‘backwards’ to embrace the future of textiles: regenerative agriculture. \n\n\n\nIntroducing the Regenerative Agriculture and Textiles Summit. Through peer-to-peer sharing\, cross-industry collaboration between the textiles and food industries\, and partnership building\, the summit will provide key strategies to accelerate the adoption of regenerative Summit practices. \n\n\n\nBringing together the entire supply chain\, the Summit will demonstrate the need for involvement from all stakeholders whilst addressing key industry challenges and underpinning the value regenerative agriculture has on supporting business operations and hitting climate goals.

SUMMARY:C4 California Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:From the beginning\, C4 has been about building and honoring relationships\, which are necessary to invest in on-farm ecological health and sourcing farm-forward all the way to customers.

SUMMARY:2023 Black Farm Tour W/ Triangle Bikeworks
DESCRIPTION:Seed2Shirt is rooting our work in our ancestors’ soil and land. Through community\, we sprout our work throughout generations. It was beautiful to be a part of and sponsor this year’s Black Farm Tour by Triangle Bikeworks\, a nonprofit invested in connecting youth to Black history through cycling. Our pilot farm\, “The Peoples Freedom Farm\,” was the first stop on the route\, and we loved to see everyone. We showcased our work of rebuilding Afro-indigenous cotton-to-textile ecosystems from Seed2Shirt – how it will start and take root on our land. The tour retraces the steps of our ancestors on the Underground Railroad to Freedom. \n\n\n\nSee the great work of Tillery Resettlement\, Golden Organic Farm\, The Peoples Freedom Farm (Seed2Shirt Pilot Farm)\, Hill Family Farm\, Halifax Underground Railroad\, Black Cotton\, Harlem Brew South\, Triangle Bikework & Xplore Kayak.
