We started the Gulf Coast Sustainable Growers Alliance as a way of organizing our work around food, including initiatives like the Just Water Initiative with aquaculture.
Aquaculture poses challenges including boats, equipment, temporary water closures due to water quality, and adverse weather that damages fisheries, impacting local livelihoods.
Freshwater inversion from the Mississippi River can lead to salty deadzones, affecting fish species reliant on specific salt levels and threatening fishermen's livelihoods.
Without support from the Farm Bill, the region faces numerous challenges, but we remain committed to promoting local farming and educating youth about food systems.
