This intensive will delve into the concept of Reparative Agriculture, emphasizing its significance through the five key pillars: Education, Legalization, Compensation, Land Reclamation, and Repatriation. Each pillar plays a crucial role in shaping a comprehensive understanding of how reparative practices can address historical injustices within the agricultural sector. 

Participants will engage in interactive discussions that encourage the sharing of perspectives and experiences, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Breakout sessions will provide opportunities for focused exploration of specific topics related to each pillar, allowing participants to engage deeply with the material and develop actionable strategies. 

Through critical dialogue, attendees will analyze the theoretical aspects of Reparative Agriculture and its practical implications. They will gain insights into how these principles can be effectively applied to promote Black Food Sovereignty, empowering communities to reclaim their agricultural heritage and build sustainable food systems. By the end of the intensive, participants will leave with a richer understanding of how Reparative Agriculture can serve as a vital tool in the movement toward social and environmental justice.
