The Wind River Food Sovereignty Project started in 2018 as a community-led program dedicated to increasing access to fresh, healthy food on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. In an effort to address high rates of food insecurity and diet-related disease, the project promotes community food production and supports Native food producers to improve community health. Youth education programs and workshops on food preservation, gardening, and harvesting reconnect community members with traditional foodways and regenerative growing practices. Join Co-Directors Kelly Pingree and Livy Lewis to learn about the project’s exciting new endeavor: building a demonstration farm and community learning center on the Wind River Reservation to promote food sovereignty.
