ACTIVE

Located near Concordia University’s Hingston Hall residence on Loyola Campus, the Sankofa Farming Cooperative is a small student-run garden that provides organic fruits and vegetables to Black-Indigenous communities in need.

The co-op was officially formed in August 2022 through conversations between mutual friends at Concordia. Their goal as “decolonizing or taking away the fear of doing agriculture as a Black or Black-Indigenous person,” reclaiming the practice that has been tainted by the injustices inflicted upon their communities.
