Clinton, British Columbia,
Canada
 We have a storefront/warehouse food-processing and residential centre, with gardens and greenhousing, in the town of Clinton, British Columbia, on a main highway headed north. We see it as a demonstration community centre.
We have a base in Lemery, Batangas, Philippines, a large garden and food-processing centre. This serves as a demonstration centre for a broader based social, economic, and political movement.
We work in the highland rainforests of Mayan America straddling the Guatemala-Chiapas border.
We are engaged in fair-trade distribution of crops and community-scale processing equipment.
We set up infrastructure projects for the processing of both cash and food crops.
We need energy! We wish to dramatically expand our operations.
We are looking for people with a global and bioregional focus.
