The Holler sits down with Kamal Bell — farmer, activist, and founder of Sankofa Farms, one of North Carolina’s most groundbreaking community agriculture projects.
Kamal shares how growing up in Durham opened his eyes to food deserts, why unequal access to healthy food is no accident, and what it takes to build real solutions instead of waiting on policymakers. From food justice to community power, he breaks down the systems that created the crisis — and how Sankofa is rewriting the script.
Kamal unpacks:
• Why food deserts exist
• How Sankofa Farms is building a sustainable, community-led food system
• The role of agriculture in Black self-determination
• What the Sankofa Agricultural Academy teaches young men about leadership and resilience
• Why food access is political — and why it doesn’t have to stay that way
