4.     Urban farmer training
5.     Business development
6.     Transforming a parking lot or vacant lot into a thriving community garden

Each curriculum is created for 12 weeks and can be customized to be longer or shorter. These curricula have been designed for marginalized populations, after school programs, and summer programs. The courses have been used to facilitate both individual transformation and to help communities cultivate qualities supportive of a thriving food system.

Our vision is to redefine our current theory of systems and begin developing a new emerging system, a system that operates through co-operation, integrity, beauty, and loving kindness. One that creates the conditions for all of communities and individual’s to achieve their greatest potential regardless of age, sexual orientation, color or disability. These conditions provide access to mental health, wellness, jobs, fresh food, and housing.

We create a system that addresses the holistic support thats needed to create communities that thrive and individuals that celebrate life. When we celebrate life together, we begin to understand that each of us has meaning and purpose just in being alive. Just by growing food together, eating as a community, sharing our humaness which also includes sorrow, sadness, loneliness, but also love, happiness and joy and beauty.

Within the consulting aspect of our business, we work with communities around the world to develop these systems by creating community programs that facilitate the process of creating communities that are abundant in resources. Our method has been to create components that are linear but where the intersection of several components is a new emerging system. When I use the word programs, Id like you to move away from the current nonprofit model or concept. When I say programs, think along the lines of doingness, or action. for example if we install an urban farm and add a program around food as medicine, think of it as a small business, or a component of a system. when you create multiple businesses, or components, the more components one adds, at the integration of these linear programs is the systemic qualities of a thriving community, a working system.

The Steps(the process of the steps will remain similar in each local, but the programs and components designed around the needs might differ)
