Our team is committed to supporting resilient, sustainable food systems. We are passionate and knowledgeable about seed production, agricultural policy, and climate-friendly farming.
Our team is composed of soil, seed, farming, and food systems policy experts. We can provide information and connect you with farmers in BC who work to mitigate climate change and participate in their local food systems.
As settlers in the place commonly known as British Columbia, we do not speak on behalf of Indigenous and Black communities, People of Colour, and low-income individuals. Food systems are subject to systemic racism and injustices. We urge you to connect with these communities directly.
