Mission

UpRoot’s Goals:

  • Increase nutrition security in Colorado by diverting locally grown and nutrient-dense surplus produce (i.e., protective foods) into the state’s hunger-relief system

  • Reinstall food wisdom in our Colorado communities by reconnecting Coloradans with the soil and the life-sustaining power of food

  • Cultivate a more equitable Colorado food system through experiential education, quantitative and qualitative research, legislative-advocacy and via collaborative projects addressing agricultural issues such as on-farm labor shortages

  • Contribute to the economic resilience of Colorado’s family farms
