FOOD SYSTEMS
exploring our local bioregion through the lens of food systems.
WHY FOOD SYSTEMS
Food is humanity's most intrinsic connection to the earth, a daily reminder of our reliance on soil, water, and ecosystems for survival. Each meal represents a convergence of natural cycles, from the sun's energy captured in plants to the intricate networks of pollinators and microorganisms that sustain life.
FOOD SYSTEMS
& BIOREGIONALISM
Food systems are a tangible gateway to understanding and connecting with our bioregion, reflecting the unique ecosystems, climates, and cultural practices that define the places we call home. From the soil that nurtures crops to the waterways that sustain them, food provides a direct link to the ecological processes and species that share our region. By engaging with local food systems—whether through growing, foraging, or supporting regional producers—we deepen our relationship with the land, fostering a sense of place and responsibility to the environments that sustain us.
