Donate excess to the Clark County Food Bank if you're in SW WA!
Food sovereignty (n): the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems.
Some of the best ways to increase your individual and your community's food sovereignty is to grow your own using sustainable methods, share the excess, and reduce waste wherever possible.
