This resolution commends Yasmeen Salam, a fourth-generation agriculturalist and agribusiness consultant who has made significant contributions to local food systems and entrepreneurship. The resolution highlights her achievements, including founding Carver's Produce in 2013 to support farmers and food entrepreneurs, pioneering mobile farmers markets in Atlanta, and creating Umoja Grocer, the first smart vending machine offering 24/7 access to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) food brands. The resolution recognizes her community work, including consulting for school gardens and local markets, and her global consulting efforts with municipalities in the United States and Africa. Additionally, it notes her recognition as one of ten women receiving an enterprise investment from the Sara Blakely Foundation and her features in Atlanta Magazine and Sapelo Square. The resolution formally commends Salam for her contributions to the state and beyond, and instructs the House of Representatives' Clerk to provide her with an official copy of the resolution.
