The New Agrarian Center is committed to building a stronger and more sustainable regional food system in Northeast Ohio- a food system that promotes health in the broadest sense of the word: healthy land, healthy communities, healthy individuals, and a healthy economy. The work of the New Agrarian Center is based on the following core principles: connecting the needs of urban and rural communities in Northeast Ohio, promoting food security for our communities through reliable access to local foods, restoring the critical ecosystem services needed for a secure food system and healthy watersheds, using food and the production of food as a gathering point for community, including connections between youth and elders, fostering collaborative partnerships with business, government, and civic organizations, and strengthening the agrarian economy through local provision of food, energy, and materials.
