Organization Spotlight: Bay Localize

We'd like to take a moment to highlight a powerful force in the Bay Area that has been a great champion of sustainable and local food: Bay Localize. We are proud to be part of their Vital Links community and sincerely support their many initiatives. Please check them out if you haven't already.

Their Mission: to catalyze the emergence of a regional, self-reliant economy that strengthens all Bay Area communities.

Why local? Why now?
"Our growing dependence on declining fossil fuels coupled with mounting climate instability are converging to a crisis stage that imperils the long-term viability of the Bay Area's economy, infrastructure, and natural environment. In response, we believe that vibrant local economies and healthy communities are the answer. They are the best guard against global insecurity, an essential part of achieving social equity, and a vital way to enrich our day-to-day lives."
