About

This group will create an open, global forum where growers can share practical knowledge with each other, pose questions and find answers. It is open to experts, amateurs and to beginners who look to enrich their lives by learning to grow food. It will also provide a space to share concerns about current food systems as well as sustainable approaches.

I formed this group because I believe empowering people worldwide with knowledge and forming meaningful connections lead to positive change. Growing food is fun and nurtures our health, as well as the health of our community. Supporting organic, biodynamic and sustainable growers leads to vibrant local economies, food security, biodiversity and overall health for all.

 Please add your talents, knowledge and/or curiosity to this group.

 Thanks!

Christine Green
