When we began the process of writing a new strategic plan in 2023, it became clear to us that if we continued to do everything we do today—even if we did it all exceptionally well—not enough would be fundamentally different by 2030.
We are living in a time of great environmental and social disruption, and what we do in the next seven years matters. But hopelessness in the face of these challenges is a false narrative that has been fed to us, when really, we have the seeds for the solutions we need. Every day, by tending and protecting land and feeding our communities, Vermont’s organic farmers and farm workers, NOFA-VT members, and community leaders are nourishing those seeds and bringing us closer to the future we need.
This plan seeks to be a bridge from the world we have today to the future in which people and the planet flourish together. In addition to our existing core programs that are critical for supporting people to survive in the challenging conditions in which we’re living now, we will add greater focus on working upstream, on building power from the ground up, and putting more time and resources toward efforts that create new systems enabling us all to thrive. Join us.
