OUR MISSION
Is to empower underserved individuals to become leaders in the food system through a framework of mindfulness, sustainability, social impact, and food sovereignty and help forge meaningful connections to further the vision of a healthy beloved community.
OUR VISION
A future in which all communities have equitable access to nutritious food, the knowledge to make informed health choices, and the tools to build sustainable, disease-free futures. We strive for a global food system that is inclusive, innovative, and just, where health, environmental stewardship, and economic opportunity are shared by all.
Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community - Our Program work in global action
Imagine living in a tropical paradise, but you can’t afford fresh produce. Imagine importing 97% of your food and being cut off for weeks due to a hurricane.
These are real-life food insecurity issues faced by many Americans in the US territories and the Caribbean.

OUR PROGRAMS
BCA Culinary Futures
Central Harlem has the highest rate of youth disconnection in New York City, with 21.6% of children aged 16-19 neither working nor in school. This number represents hundreds of young people facing difficult circumstances that are limiting their chances to succeed. At BCAGlobal, we believe every young person deserves access to support, mentorship, and real pathways to a strong future.
Our Culinary & Baking Futures program provides exactly that. Over eight months, Harlem youth will gain hands-on culinary training, learn essential job skills, and build confidence with guidance from industry leaders. With the support of Chef Alex Askew and Joanne Baylor, participants discover new possibilities and prepare for meaningful careers in the food industry.
Regenerative Agriculture in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico’s food system is fragile, and families feel the impact every day. The island imports nearly 87% of its food, leaving communities vulnerable to rising prices, supply chain disruptions, and extreme weather. After Hurricane Maria, food insecurity surged from 30% to 85% percent in just five months, exposing how quickly access to food can disappear.
At BCAGlobal, we believe food is medicine and food sovereignty is essential to community health.
In partnership with the USDA, the University of Puerto Rico, and AgroInnova, we are leading a transformative effort to rebuild Puerto Rico’s food system through regenerative farming that restores soil health, improves crop nutrition, reduces waste, and strengthens long term resilience for farmers.
