Praxis of Change
Our Beliefs
Pairing deep relationships based on trust, with social movements rooted in solidarity and reciprocity, is one of the strongest drivers of change.
Establishing a common ground and building deep relationships can be cultivated through sharing food, stories, struggle, & ceremony.
Cooperative networks have vast capacity to build bridges across divergent perspectives around common goals.
Real cooperation requires the ability to understand the difference between the common good versus individual gain.
The commons is a practice of sharing the earth’s resources and knowledge to serve the common good and build collective resilience.
A diversity of individuals within communities and a diversity of organisms within ecosystems makes collective resilience stronger.
Collective resilience requires collective healing.
Collective healing necessitates truth and reconciliation through reparations, anti-racism, restorative justice, and rematriation.
Our Role
Our role in supporting change is rooted in building cooperative relationships and networks for the horizontal exchange of technical agroecological farming and marketing skills, and for political education that encourages strategy building and the critical analysis of injustices within the food system. We are committed to the formation of popular education models and of cooperative practices and networks for regenerative land stewardship and rematriated land commons for equitable, regenerative, and healing food systems.
