The Farmers X Change platform was originally organized and developed by three African American women who had a vision to see farmers remain financially viable by directly interacting with consumers, other farmers, farm affiliates, hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores.
Dr. Gail Myers is a cultural anthropologist who has studied and documented black farmers across the United States. Dr. Myers runs a 501c 3 non-profit called Farms To Grow and she has an authentic interest in helping farmers promote their legacy, document farm history, and improve sustainable local food communities.
This platform was originally designed by Dr. Sakile K. Camara. She is a tenured full professor at California State University, Northridge, and has researched communication strategies used in micro-interactions in which powerlessness is experienced. She brings to this project integrity-based designs that disrupt the status quo with the intent to elevate the user experience.
