Sustainable Solano
Nurturing Initiatives for the Good of the WholeWhat is Sustainable Solano’s mission?
We are a grassroots, countywide movement uniting people through work that aims to serve the future of Solano County, to promote ecologically regenerative, economically and socially just communities in a world that works for everyone. Sustainable Solano has grown out of decades of dedicated community work that started with community gardens and has grown to include an emphasis on creating sustainable, regenerative environments, community capacity building, supporting local food systems and building youth leadership and workforce skills for a better future. We use a nature-inspired approach to all of our work in the community and our very organization, striving towards a democratically managed, authentic and non-hierarchical structure.

Why Understanding Air Quality Matters More Than Ever in California
Air quality is something many of us take for granted — until it becomes a problem. However, with careful planning, we can protect ourselves while indoors. Learning about air filtration, monitoring air quality indexes, and improving indoor air circulation can help you stay safe.
Fairfield in Full Bloom
We are excited that this spring we will be coordinating with the city, the community and Fairfield artist Sheree Rayford to create a community mural along Linear Park Trail. We hope this mural will invite residents to use, enjoy and care for the trail more often. We thank Sheree for sharing her blog on this project and process.
EcoFarm Insight: Reflection, Observation & Irrigation
I had the opportunity to attend EcoFarm’s 45th Anniversary conference this year and had a wonderful time. My colleagues and I attended a variety of presentations and participated in a number of wonderful discussions with people from around California who work on similar projects related to urban agriculture, local food, and creating connections in their community.
