Black Rootz is a multigenerational growing project providing opportunities for Black and People of Colour (BPOC) growers in the UK whilst increasing food security and access to culturally appropriate foods. Black Rootz was established in 2019 by a collective of Black growers in Haringey who recognised the need to organise to challenge the deep inequalities in the growing and food systems. Over the past 4 years, Black Rootz has developed a multi-layered and holistic vision for BPOC communities incorporating intergenerational knowledge transfer, increased access to land and food sovereignty, regenerative environmental practices and reduced food inequality.

Black Rootz has been incubated as a project within The Ubele Initiative since 2019. As an established name in the growing community, it is now preparing to become an independent entity and is in the process of being incorporated as a Community Interest Company.
