Building a Coalition to create a rich and sustainable environment
<p><strong>Southeastern Green Network (SoGreen Network)</strong> is an active coalition building organization. Our goal is to partner with all organizations, agencies and community members that understand the importance of sustainable agriculture as an environmental changer, local food access and urban agricultural systems as a way to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our quality of food, climate change and how it impacts global food security issues.</p> <p>The <strong>Southeastern African-American Farmers Organic Network (SAAFON)</strong>, a project of the SoGreen Network (a 501 c3 organization), is a network of farmers using sustainable growing methods. The Network is comprised of small and limited resource farmers that are either certified organic or growing organically. Currently SAAFON farmers are located in six states and the U. S. Virgin Islands: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and St. Croix Island. The goal is to add ten (10) farmers to the Network each year. Farmer participation in the Network is free. SAAFON has been recognized as the only African-American farmers’ organization/Network of its type in the United States.</p> <p><strong>For more information visit: http://www.saafon.org/</strong></p>
