What we believe
Why Community Supported Ecology? We believe that each of us, and each plot of land, is vital to a healthy future. Adapt exists to sustain and promote the connections between people and the land that supports us through community co-creation of native plant and perennial food landscapes.
Through crowdfunding, education, and volunteer effort, we aim to build a community network that supports the restoration of native plant and perennial food landscapes on small parcels of privately- and publicly-owned land where there might otherwise not be the resources to do so.
- Native plants are necessary because they form the foundation of healthy ecosystems.
- Humans are a part of this ecosystem and adding perennial edible plant varieties to our landscapes supports food resiliency in our community.
- Each of us, and each plot of land, is vital to a healthy future.
