About regener8

Regener8 (named after the Great Ward 8) seeks to integrate and amplify the thriving urban farming culture in the Ward. Ward 8 is a community abuzz with urban farming initiatives in spite of being labeled a “food desert”. In fact, within the community, farmers and those working in the food equity space identify the issue as “food apartheid”, a phrase coined by Karen Washington, that brings forth the root causes of the issue such as race, class, and geography. Regener8 will engage in a series of activities to empower the local farmers and land stewards who are trying to create a sustainable space for food equity.
