Seed the Commons promotes veganic farming as the basis of a sustainable, just and compassionate food system.
Our focus has largely been on outreach and education; our activities have included:
- The creation of an online veganic resource center that features a growing series of profiles of veganic farmers.
- We’ve presented about the importance of building the veganic movement at numerous conferences and meetups.
- Coordination of the Working Group on Veganic Farming, an open group of activists, farmers, and other interested folks who meet to discuss how to promote veganic farming. The working group also organizes activities like a field trip for the public to a veganic farm.
- The People’s Harvest Forum is the only conference focused on radical food politics where vegan farmers are the representatives of the eco-farming and agroecological way forward.
Our work on veganics is closely tied to that of building local food resiliency and reclaiming our food system from corporate control, for example:
We are starting two projects to grow food veganically, in San Francisco and East Palo Alto, for the benefit of our local community and ecology.
We offer the first and only veganic gardening classes in California, giving people tools to grow their own food.
