What We Do
We strive to offer and support opportunities for learning that help us to support our food system and build better communities.
The Center supports a number of projects related to and in support of regional food systems and community transformation.
Our learning circles are designed to be a participatory structure for group reflection, dialogue, and planning based on selected scholarship and emergent topics.
Center fellows bring the aims of the Center to their communities as leaders, educators, and advocates for equity, justice, and health in our food and farming systems.
