We believe in a nourishing, equitable, and resilient future of food

Industrial agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to anthropogenic climate change. It is also responsible for degrading some of our most promising defense mechanisms against the climate crisis: soil and trees. The intensive chemical agriculture that comprises the Corn Belt region of the U.S. is replacing flourishing forests and native plants with nutrient-poor crops that degenerate our rich soils. Low-income communities consistently bear the consequences of industrial agriculture, facing myriad environmental crises and a scarcity of accessible, nutritious food. Farmers who might want to shift away from that model of agriculture are trapped by millions of dollars and years of experience invested in agribusiness.

Today, we all depend on industrial agriculture for our diets. It’s up to all of us to reimagine a future of farming that is diversified, reforested, perennial and carbon-negative.
