Environment
Mission: 

The Savanna Institute is a nonprofit organization that works with farmers and scientists to lay the groundwork for widespread agroforestry adoption in the Midwest. Inspired by the native savanna ecosystems that once covered much of this region, the Savanna Institute conducts research, education, and outreach to support the growth of diverse, perennial agroecosystems.

Programs: 

Our major program areas include: 

Education and outreach - we work directly with farmers and beginning farmers through on-farm events, apprenticeships, webinars, publications, and an online course.

Tree crop commercialization - this program focuses on the development of specific tree crops and the value chains and markets associated with them. Depending on the crop, program activities may include everything from plant breeding to market assessments to helping to form producer pools for aggregation and processing.

Direct farmer support - expert agroforesters work one-on-one with farmers to help develop individualized plans for agroforestry adoption and help farmers navigate federal cost-share programs and access other forms of financing.

Research - Staff scientists work to understand the major questions involved with agroforestry adoption and to make cutting-edge research available to farmers.

Why Work For Us?: 

We are a young, high-energy, rapidly-growing organization. We're eager to expand the team!

Overview
Headquarters: 
Portland, ME

Annual Budget :

Founded: 
2001
About Us
Areas of Focus:

Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

Cultivating Community grows sustainable communities by expanding access to healthy, local food; empowering children, youth, and adults to play diverse roles in restoring the local, sustainable food systems; and modeling, teaching, and advocating for ecological food production.

Programs: 

In 2020, Cultivating Community will:

- Support 35 farmers, with a combined 850 years of agricultural experience from 7 different countries, through our New American Sustainable Agriculture Project. Provide land access, market support, technical assistance, classroom and in-field training, and connections to other service providers.

- Build synergy between our training program, front-line emergency food services (over 15 pantries, soup kitchens, and food rescue orgs), and food insecure communities through our SNAP and WIC incentive programs; paying New American farmers full price for food that is donated to partner organizations.

- Prioritize low-income gardeners in our urban agriculture programming;  we support 500 gardeners in 12 community gardens in Portland, supporting low-resource and low-literacy gardeners with specialized technical assistance in accessing plots (low-income gardeners jump to the top of a 5-year wait list and CC fundraises to subsidize fees), and provide an additional 88 immigrant gardeners with larger plots, translation, technical assistance, and transportation to our farms outside of the city.

- Reach over 500 primary and secondary students through 5 youth programs, both in and out of the classroom, to build food literacy, leadership development, job readiness, and related skills.
