Sustainable Food Trust
The Sustainable Food Trust was founded in response to the worsening human and environmental crises associated with the vast majority of today’s food and farming systems. We use our influence to advocate food production systems that are diverse and integrated, those that work with natural systems and obey the law of return so they can be genuinely regenerative to the earth and its plants, animals, and people.

Savory
Currently, grasslands are desertifying at alarming rates. Holistic Management of grasslands can result in the regeneration of soils, increased productivity and biological diversity, and economic and social well-being. At the Savory Institute, it’s our mission to regenerate these critically essential and fragile grasslands. On average, $30 allows the Savory Global Network to influence 100 acres of land as regional Hubs train farmers, ranchers, and pastoralist communities in their local context.
Food Tank

Donating to Food Tank means supporting one of the fastest-growing organizations in food and agriculture.
Food & Water Watch
To protect our food, water, and climate, Food & Water Watch organizes people around the country to build political power. We mobilize at the local, state, and federal levels to win the fights others are afraid even to take on. From banning fracking to shutting down factory farms to making sure communities across the country have access to clean water. We’ve fought against greedy corporations and reckless government agencies and won time after time. Corporations may have the money, but we believe people have the power to make real change.
