THE SOLUTION
Regenerative agriculture is connecting the dots between economic and environmental resilience. Under the Renew Forsyth movement, communities in Winston-Salem, North Carolina have formed a food innovation district that incorporates regenerative agriculture and bionutrient food into the local supply chain while increasing access to good jobs.
The innovation district consists of three hubs: a farmer hub to grow bionutrient food, a food aggregation hub to distribute it to the community, and an entrepreneurship hub to support small businesses in selling their plant-based products. Renew Forsyth also partners with neighborhood associations, local schools, and organizations who work with formerly incarcerated individuals to offer a unique curriculum that supports community resilience through healthy food. By growing this interconnected web, Renew Forsyth is building a more equitable economy from the soil up.
