The Gaining Ground Sustainability Institute of Mississippi, Pine Belt Chapter has a mission to connect the people of Mississippi with the resources and education necessary to make sustainable food choices. The organization has petitioned state policy makers to update regulations, which would allow local farmers to sell their poultry at farmers’ market and other non-farm locations. They are actively working with city sustainability planning, farmers’ markets, recycling, urban homesteading, farm to school food programs and green energy use. The Institute has had a very active year, holding general meetings every other month with outings and events in the other months. Highlighted topics include: identifying which foods have high amounts of pesticides and which don’t, presentations by local farmers, and solar installation information sessions. All programs are free and open to the public.
