All of our programs work towards the goal of food sovereignty:

“I’m encouraged that there are so many people committed to positive ecological and social practices. It’s easy to get discouraged when there are so many people being ground down by capitalism. Loving Spoonful is a little corner of the world where people value humans and the environment.”
