ABOUT
Bountiful Cities is an Asheville-based non profit organization dedicated to teaching sustainable agriculture skills and sharing resources to promote social justice, economic viability, and community resilience. Founded in 2000, we have promoted sustainability–the equal balance between environmental health, social equity, and economic viability–for over 20 years.
Mission
Our mission is to be a collaborative urban agriculture resource. We create community partnerships to establish dialogue and trust, support community needs, and share agricultural skills.
Vision
Our vision is to help create and support abundant, food-sovereign communities. We are committed to holistic sustainability through integrated food systems, food security and production, and job creation. Since our beginning, we have been engaging communities, teaching urban agricultural skills, and advocating for healthy food systems that are accessible to all. We believe education is a lifelong process that involves exchanging knowledge and experience. Growing from this understanding, we are committed to supporting shared exchange by role modeling and facilitating events, programming, and experiential education.
Values
We believe healthy communities consist of shared and diverse cultures, cooperation, safety, support, health, respect, trust, self-reliance, and love within individuals, families, and groups. Throughout all our local partnerships and programs, we foster healthy human relationships by nurturing these community values. We are committed to ending oppression in all forms, including those based on race, class, gender, culture, age, religion, and sexuality, and creating social justice by honoring and practicing cooperation and mutual respect.
