Education, Land, Community - Together we Thrive
“Heal the land, heal the people: Heal the people, heal the land”- C. Hylton
Education, Land & Community
We believe thriving communities grow from healthy land, nourished people, and knowledge shared across generations. We are committed to land stewardship, caring for soil, water, forests and open community spaces, not just as resources, but as living systems that sustain all life.
We support and advocate for local food systems by empowering people to grow, distribute, and eat food that is healthy, socially harmonious, and ecologically sound. Through hands-on learning, apprenticeships, and experiential programs we support communities and nurture future leaders grounded in ecological responsibility and community well-being.
Education is a practice of freedom.- bell hooks
Land as Freedom: Land is the source of physical and spiritual wealth and generational stability.
We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
R.I.C.E. Georgia is addressing climate change concerns through quality food systems education, technical assistance, networking and through regenerative land stewardship demonstrations.
We offer hands on learning opportunities through our education programs that make connections between land, food, health, and our freedom.
Regenerative land use management
We promote using land in ways that renew, restore and generate fertile grounds for growing food for communities. We promote access to land through farmer apprenticeship, education and demonstration activities.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
We support the improvement of social, economic and spiritual wellbeing of communities. We consider all systems (living and nature) to be interconnected and seek to maintain balance through alignment with ecological systems
environmental heritage
We uplift intergenerational stories and ways of being in relationship to land. We gather and analyze stories of connections and work to make visible the environmental perspectives.
We welcome the chance to connect and work together.
