“ALEGRIA Advances livelihoods with equitable “zero barriers to access” approaches to grow resilience in low-income Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities through co-created, bottom-up agriculture partnerships that drive policy.”
ALEGRIA (Advancing Livelihoods in Equity by Growing Resilience in Agriculture) shifts the response to chronically under-resourced communities from safety nets to sustaining nets that are designed, built, and sustained by local families and organizations.
ALEGRIA is a project presented for the competition Racial Equity 2030, sponsored by Lever for Change and W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
OUR GOAL
Zero barriers
Generating new participants and new leadership in communities that have been marginalized and overlooked
Bottom-up knowledge that is shared and
drives policy (locally, regionally
and internationally)
Asset and knowledge building
preserving cultural foodways
Synergy between all the parts.
Dialogue that sees things
collectively that cannot be seem
separately. Sum is greater than
the parts. Circular thinking and
conversation.
