Runner Up
We are thrilled to share “Interweaving Seeds, Territories & Generations” with our community of supporters. You have been part of making our work possible for over 20 years. Our theme speaks to the persistence of our collaborations as they weave connections across the CAN network and beyond. Our goal is to raise $100,000 by December 31st to continue fostering collaborative processes and sharing of ancestral knowledge for community-led food sovereignty in Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, California and across the Americas.
