Feeding Systems Change in Baja California Sur

Our strategy is based on a systemic understanding of food security, which recognizes its complexity and the interdependence of all elements, actors and regions in both the local food system and the broader ecosystems in which it is nested.

Our programs are founded on a shared vision, co-created with the people we serve: small farmers, businesses, government, local community leaders, and other stakeholders including local businesses and visitors.

ASA seeks to create a knock-on effect beyond our programs. Our systemic vision combined with the challenging context of Baja California Sur can offer valuable insights for other regions.
