Just Good Food
The Just Good Food program teaches about regenerative agriculture, food- and farm-businesses and facilitates projects and practices that test, model and implement solutions that boost these.
Through workshops, hands-on projects, practitioner panels, original and shared content this project engages local farm and food leaders as peer-educators, volunteers and learners to share knowledge, trade skills and build resources that enhance more equitable, economically secure, and ecologically resilient communities and food systems.
