Support OrganicNation.tv’s Bid for NAU’s Grant for Change

Exciting news – OrganicNation.tv has been nominated for NAU’s Grant for Change! The $10,000 award will highlight the efforts of people who move in the spirit of the Nau Collective and support those who instigate lasting, positive change in their communities – and there’s no doubt that the Organic Nation team accomplishes that goal.

Support OrganicNation.tv by heading over to the NAU Grant for Change site and voting! Here’s why:

As obesity and diabetes rates climb and farming techniques continue to pollute the air and water, it is crucial to educate young Americans about their food options. This fall, OrganicNation.tv will continue building awareness on and offline to empower young people about issues of food safety, nutrition and sustainable farming.

On the heels of their successful West Coast KickOff Tour, Dorothee Royal-Hedinger and Mark Andrew Boyer will embark on journey across the U.S. Traveling from California to Maine, they will gather and share stories from farmers, urban gardeners, activists and chefs and address issues like: “How can farming be sustainable?” “Is organic food more nutritious than conventional food?” “Can organic food feed the world?” This project will be formed into a free educational toolkit for use in 8th and 9th grade classrooms, empowering the next generation to build a sustainable nation.
