Black Food Sovereignty Alliance (BFSA) was established by The Afri-Can FoodBasket—a Toronto Non-profit organization that has been pushing the needle in Black food sovereignty since 1995—in partnership with the City of Toronto, to collectively help advance food issues impacting Black communities in the GTA while confronting anti-Black racism.

Under the umbrella of Black Food Sovereignty Alliance (BFSA), the Working Group and our partners represent Black farmers, restaurateurs, dieticians, nutritionists, importers and more to get resources for their communities, empowering them to become more food  secure, and ultimately, more food sovereign.

New Project - Reviving Gaza’s Farmland

Thamra, which means “fruit” in Arabic, was created in 2024 by two Palestinians: farmer Yousef Abu Rabea (Allah Yerhamo) and photographer Leena Almadhoun. Displaced as a result of the genocide, Yousef managed to hastily collect dry seeds and seedlings before evacuating his family farm. Yousef and his brothers later sowed the seeds and planted the seedlings, eventually allowing them to feed their family and share fresh vegetables with the surrounding community. Understanding self-sufficiency as a path to dignity during a painful time, Thamra supports Palestinians who lack the resources necessary to grow fresh, nourishing food.

The year is 2011. Muna and Mohammed El-Kurd are 12-year-old twins living in the Karm al-Jouni area of the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, in East Jerusalem. At the time of filming, settlers have forcibly expelled them from the front of their house, but their family continues to live in the rest of the house.

In the absence of his parents, an ‘unruly’ teenager is presented with a crucial test of character devised by his eldest sister. Instead of being punished for skipping school, he is entrusted with managing the family allowance for two weeks. To feed his siblings, he resorts to something he knew in his heart: in a Palestinian house, the pantry is never bare. Borrowing from classic elements of Palestinian storytelling—namely repetition, trickery, and an obsession with food—Brown Bread & Apricots is a story about a Palestinian family in exile.

Yom Al Ard/Land Day (2019) is a portrait about the fragmentation of the land, the experience, and the people of Palestine, showcasing the systematic efforts to disperse, fragment, and destroy the audiovisual memory and collective identity of Palestinians. It is composed of rare footage shot in the Galilee (Nazareth, Deir Hanna, and Sakhnin) in celebration of the 5th Land Day Anniversary on March 1981 that has recently been restored and digitized. The film pays homage to the transversal unity of the people, their collective energy in the defense of Palestinian identity- unimaginable today - and to their charismatic leader, the five times Mayor of Nazareth and poet Tawfik Zayyad.
