The project is 23 months old, and is primarily focused on the climate solution of regenerative agriculture, which may be the most significant way to sequester carbon, naturally-based or otherwise. Beyond that, distributed food distribution reduces carbon emissions from transportation, which is one of the major contributors to climate change, and using food security as a lens drives expanded local food production and thus sequestration. We’ve updated our proposal to include our whole-systems Food Summit on Nov 26, 2023, which had participants from 2 local First Nations and generated 9 project groups, including several members of Transition Salt Spring (part of the Transition network), which is a food security partner and helps reinforce the carbon focus.
