Xavier Brown

Xavier Brown is a native of Washington, DC and a graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. He operates at the boundaries of urban agriculture, environmental sustainability, and African Diasporic culture. His work intertwines  sustainability with the issues that impact stressed communities from gun violence to mass incarceration.

Xavier is a Robert Wood Johnson Culture of Health Leader, funder of Soilful, co-founder of SouthEats Cooperative, and member of Black Dirt Farm Collective.

By studying the practices of indigenous people and going back to ancestral knowledge, Xavier is creating a new  sustainability movement that  is  healing the people and the land by reconnecting our sacred relationship to the earth.
