Education
From in-depth reads, audio and visual content to links to inspirational organizations and their work, these resources and our study group(s) are made to move you & our movement forward.
Our approach encourages reflection as much as action. You’ll walk away not only with new techniques, but with a deeper understanding of how and why they work. The goal is to leave you with ideas and skills that feel clear, useful, and genuinely meaningful in your life.

After a decade of working as a small farmer, Blackbird co-founder and Sylvanaqua Farms founder Chris Newman couldn't help but notice that regenerative agriculture seemed to be really bad to two important things:Making food available at a price point affordable to most peopleGetting first-generation farmers on the land and keeping them there
For all its hype about solving climate change and being a new way to feed the world, etc., regenerative agriculture seemed to be little more than a playground for rich consumers and well-off farmers.Chris Newman - Writer

HEAL Food Alliance - Organization
The HEAL (Health, Environment, Agriculture, Labor) Food Alliance was born out of the knowledge that no single individual, organization, or sector can transform systems in isolation. We believe that true transformation requires diverse skills, roles, and resources— and, it requires organizing together for real change.
Today, HEAL is a national multi-sector, multi-racial coalition of 55 organizations. We are led by our members, who represent over 2 million rural and urban farmers, ranchers, fishers, farm and food chain workers, indigenous groups, scientists, public health advocates, policy experts, community organizers, and activists. Together, these groups are building a movement to transform our food and farm systems from the current extractive economic model towards community control, care for the land, local economies, meaningful labor, and healthful communities nationwide, while supporting the sovereignty of all living beings. healfoodalliance.org
