RURAL ROOTS VISIONThe Inland Northwest food and agricultural system is made up of urban and rural communities that actively support and participate in locally owned and operated food and farm enterprises. These sustainable enterprises contribute to individual and community health, prosperity, and quality of life. Our communities are built on reciprocal relationships where people are valued for their unique contributions and creativity. There is a strong network of inspirational family farmers and ranchers, market gardeners and food-based businesses. All of our community members have access to affordable, culturally acceptable, and high quality local food and fiber. The good health of the people in the region mirrors the good health of the land. RURAL ROOTS MISSION STATEMENTRural Roots’ mission is to support and enhance sustainable and organic agriculture and community-based food systems in the Inland Northwest. As a regional non-profit organization, Rural Roots works to increase community member’s abilities to engage in sustainable production for home and market. We understand that local food and agriculture contribute to our sense of community and are integral to our quality of life and economic prosperity. We recognize the importance of developing local markets, creating opportunities for value-added products and increasing understanding about the importance and potential of local food and agriculture.
