OA seeks to coordinate with communities - officials, businesses, schools and its residents on ensuring food resiliency. Sustainable food systems begin on the farm and end on your plate as the consumer. From production, processing, distribution, retail and consumption, sometimes food needs help along the way.

If any of these parts is struggling or collapses due to any number of reasons, the system is vulnerable. We promote projects that strengthen and sure-up all phases of the system. Projects such as sustainable community gardens, local farmers markets, rainwater harvesting, rooftop farming, aquaponics in schools and many more.
