GGFN Receives Regenerative Agriculture Award

Gorge Grown has earned an award from the Regenerative Agriculture Foundation.

We are proud to share that we received the Regenerative Agriculture Award, recognizing the Columbia Gorge Tribal Food Sovereignty Initiative. The Initiative is led by Indigenous community members who are dedicated to revitalizing traditional food practices and restoring the health of their communities, rivers, and lands.  We’re grateful to have been nominated by our colleagues at Columbia River Intertribal Fisheries Commission.The award is presented by the Regenerative Agriculture Foundation, a U.S.-based intermediary funder that works alongside foundations, investors, nonprofits, community leaders, and land stewards across Tribal Nations to advance regenerative agriculture and support solutions to today’s most pressing challenges.

As part of this award, we have the opportunity to connect monthly with fellow awardees to share best practices and strengthen collaboration.

“These organizations not only use practices that support healthy soils, clean water, and mitigate climate change, they also carry a land-ethic rooted in intergenerational and ancestral knowledge of their respective communities. Relating to the land and each other in those ways truly transforms our food and farm systems amid the compounding social and climate crisis of these times.” – Brett Ramey, Regenerative Agriculture Foundation
