We believe that access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food is a fundamental human right, and that communities should have the right to determine how their food is produced and distributed. This Guide is an important tool for sharing that vision and bringing it to fruition.”Cooperation Humboldt’s food team also provides Little Free Pantries to facilitate neighborhood sharing, empowers new and aspiring low-income gardeners to grow food through their free mini gardens, plants community fruit trees, and offers a variety of educational opportunities relating to food production.Learn more at cooperationhumboldt.org. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
