A visit from Dr. Vandana Shiva to CT NOFA in May put the wind at our backs – and we have launched our Living Seed Bank Project across the state. Dr. Shiva’s work with Navdanya and her commitment to the protection and cultivation of native seed twins with our initiatives to protect our pollinators.
With the generosity of the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant we at NOFA are working, boots on the ground, to install and restore pollinator habitats on farm and gardens across our region.
