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