Western Organization of Resource Councils Education Project

WORC’s Agriculture and Food Campaign addresses one of the fundamental problems facing rural America: the need to advance the economic and environmental sustainability of family farms and ranches. The Campaign challenges an industry that has little regard for biodiversity, sustainability, animal well-being, public health or the rural economy. The Campaign is working to revitalize rural communities through grassroots action and local projects that foster sustainable agricultural practices, owner-operated businesses and cooperatives, fair competition in agricultural markets, conservation of land, water and air, and availability of fresh, healthful, locally-produced foods.

Mad Agriculture

We use a combination of community support, capital and markets to activate regenerative agriculture on the land.

Exceptions can and will be made.
