What they do
THE BERRY CENTER WAS LAUNCHED to PRESERVE THE LEGACY of WENDELL BERRYS WORK and WRITINGS and THE EXCEPTIONAL AGRICULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS of HIS FATHER JOHN BERRY, SR., and HIS BROTHER JOHN BERRY, JR. THE CORE of OUR WORK is to ADVOCATE for (SEE SCHEDULE O) FARMERS, LAND CONSERVING COMMUNITIES, and HEALTHY REGIONAL ECONOMIES.OUR WORK SEEKS to PROVIDE SOLUTIONS to ESSENTIAL ISSUES THAT ARE RARELY IN PUBLIC DISCLOSURE and CERTAINLY NOT REFLECTED IN AGRICULTURAL POLICIES. "WHAT WILL IT TAKE for FARMERS to BE ABLE to AFFORD to FARM WELL? and "HOW DO WE BECOME A CULTURE THAT SUPPORTS GOOD FARMING and LAND USE?" WE BELIEVE THAT THE ANSWERS - WHILE FIRMLY ROOTED IN LOCAL WORK - ARE CENTRAL to SOLVING SOME of THE WORLDS MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE DEVASTATION of NATURAL RESOURCES and BIODIVERSITY; RAPID ONSET of CLIMATE CHANGE; ECONOMIC and SOCIAL INEQUITIES; and THE COLLAPSE of HEALTHY FARMING and RURAL COMMUNITIES.
