About this Mapmaker

The Bed-Stuy Food Justice Program is a grassroots initiative to map community gardens and urban farms and to map our local food system.

Statement of Purpose

n November 2009, Ajamu became one of 40 individuals selected to participate in the TogetherGreen Fellowship Program- a nationwide program funded by Audubon and Toyota to support conservation projects, train environmental leaders and offer volunteer opportunities to significantly benefit the environment. This award will help to support his community project of developing a community map designed to educate and engage residents, businesses and decision makers about the locations of sustainable living activities in his community of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Once the maps are completed, Ajamu plans to use them to facilitate a series of neighborhood workshops at his neighborhood’s oldest African-American led environmental organization –the Magnolia Tree Earth Center- on the importance of environmental stewardship, energy conservations and food sovereignty.
