Our project has been shaped by the many people and organizations with whom we have collaborated to help start changing our culture and community. Hunger, poor nutrition, and the unsustainable waste of resources evident in our food distribution system have led us to the conclusion that food resiliency is critical. We are committed to build a coalition of individuals and organizations to begin to change our food culture by helping people to start gardens at home, encourage the support of local, sustainable agriculture, and in the process re-invigorate our local economy.
