Some time ago, we announced that we were dedicating a percentage of our profits to grassroots orgs, land/water defenders and mutual aid funds. We know that we function within a capitalist society but we believe there are ways for us redistribute our wealth and center community.
OPPORTUNITY | We're looking for an executive director to lead our values-based, social justice organization with a mission to build food sovereignty by working with partners to enhance biodiversity, spread ecological food systems, and counter inequity.

Here’s a small example of why #FoodSovereignty is crucial:
When the pandemic hit, farmers Asunta and Demetrio became lifelines for their community, Ch’alla Ch’alla, in northern Potosí, Bolivia.
Why? Because they're re-growing food sovereignty in their region.
Just five years ago, Adonis Nolasco did not consider himself a farmer.
Today, he grows 10 types of fruit trees, 21 other crops and good quality seed. https://t.co/G9stTCWjQN
