Keynote Speaker: Bonetta Adeeb - "Ujamaa Seeds"

The name Mother Nature Farm comes from me being a Son of the Soil. I came from a family of farmers so was destined to be a farmer. My father was a farmer, farming for about 35 years.

At the fair I will be selling green bananas, plantains, greens, sugarcane & cut up sugarcane, etc. I was part of some produce drives and a few farmers brigades. 

Keynote Speaker: Bonetta Adeeb - "Ujamaa Seeds"

Keynote Speaker: Bonetta Adeeb - "Ujamaa Seeds"

This year’s featured guest keynote presenter is Bonnetta Adeeb of the Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance (UCFA). Ujamaa’s work in seed security and seed farming is centered on increasing diversity within the $1.5 billion U.S. heirloom seed market by empowering historically marginalized communities. Formed in 2021 as a program of the non-profit STEAM ONWARD, Inc., UCFA focuses on increasing the number of BIPOC growers participating in heirloom seed farming.


Their work can be summarized through the following key areas:

•Agro-biodiversity and Resilience

•Economic Empowerment

•Conservation through Education

•Cultural Preservation


In essence, Ujamaa treats seeds not just as a commodity but as a living library of cultural heritage. By teaching marginalized growers to "read" and replicate these volumes, they ensure that the story of global food diversity remains written for future generations.

Featured Guest Speaker: Raina Turner-Greenlea - "Black Sustainability, Inc."

Also presenting will be representatives from Black Sustainability, Inc. (BSI). The Black Sustainability Network is the world's largest collection of Black/African sustainability practitioners, organizations, and enthusiasts. We gather yearly for the Black Sustainability Summit and offer training and workshops throughout the year.

We've developed a custom platform for our global community that helps:

• Amplify: Raise awareness of Black-led, environmental organizations, solutions and projects in Black communities

• Connect: Increases visibility for qualified climate solution providers with a global, searchable map and member profiles

• Educate: Preserve indigenous wisdom and provide culturally relevant sustainability education (virtually and in-person)
This platform creates a unified space where Black and Green practitioners and organizations can exchange knowledge, collaborate, and support sustainable development efforts in Africa and throughout the African diaspora.


At the fair Black Sustainability, Inc. will showcase our AfroEcology programming & promote our AfroIndigenous seed banking initiative. We will have educational materials on seed banking and farmer support workshops
