Guest Post: Climbers and Farm Policy
This is a guest post that originally appeared on Farm To Crag’s blog. Farm To Crag is a climber-driven nonprofit that inspires climbers to invest in sustainable, locally-grown foods wherever we climb. We believe that when climbers invest in local organic regenerative agriculture — one meal at a time — we demonstrate the power we have to improve our individual wellness while stimulating vibrant local economies and nurturing a resilient environment resistant to climate change.
