Each week at The Pollination Project, we shine light on seven grantees whose environmentally friendly projects are bringing justice to the vast planet that we call home. On the African continent, crop diversification address food security while on the opposite hemisphere community gardens provide accessibility and education to underserved communities. Amongst a world of injustice, these projects are reconnecting us to our roots.

Congratulations to our seven recent seed grant recipients!
