Black Sustainability, Inc (BSI)
BSI's work spans learning, workforce development, and land stewardship
Who We Are
BSI is the world's largest network of sustainability practitioners of African descent. Our mission is to mobilize sustainability practitioners of Afrikan descent to (re)build sustainable communities and economies that restore balance to our planet.
Our vision is a global Black diaspora that is land-rooted, economically self-sufficient, and living in the right relationship with the earth, drawing on traditional ecological knowledge as much as modern innovation. What drives us is passion: for land, for culture, for community, and for the belief that sustainability is not a trend, it's a birthright we're reclaiming.
With over 2,400 members spanning North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Australia, BSI connects practitioners, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts who are building sustainable solutions from the ground up.
What We Do
Learning Journeys: Retreats and wellness and sustainability service-learning experiences that immerse participants in hands-on, culturally rooted education, from farm field days to international learning trips.
Black Sustainability eInstitute: Our virtual education platform, offering accessible online courses and certifications for members wherever they are.
Workforce Development: Training in green trades, including solar, green building, and agriculture, equipping our community with real skills for the growing green economy.
Food Sovereignty: Programs rooted in seed saving, conservation, and land activation, all grounded in traditional ecological knowledge passed down through generations.
Why Wholistic Health Is Important
Sustainability doesn't stop at the land, it extends to the body. We believe our community cannot build sustainable futures without also protecting their health in the present.
That means clean air, clean water, clean food, and clean products. Wholistic health is the foundation that allows our members to show up fully for the land, for their families, and for each other.
You cannot pour into a community and planet from a depleted, toxin-burdened body, so we treat personal wellness as inseparable from environmental stewardship.
Why This Partnership Is Important
This partnership is a natural extension of both of our missions. BSI trains and mobilizes people to build sustainable communities; BLK + GRN gives them access to the safe, non-toxic products that sustain their bodies along the way. Together, we're closing a gap our community has long felt: knowing what's healthy and actually having access to it.
Through this collaboration, our members can shop a curated collection on BLK + GRN's platform, and we can bring select BLK + GRN products directly to our community when we table at events, pairing education with practical, immediate access to healthier alternatives.
