From Food Today to Food for Tomorrow
Help a community grow what it needs to thrive.
What is From Food Today to Food for Tomorrow?
We help communities create sustainable access to food through community gardens, growing spaces, and practical education. By providing the tools, resources, and knowledge needed to grow food locally, we can help communities build something they can continue to use and share for years to come.
Volna Global, a Los Angeles 501(c)(3) public charity, runs this program with local partners in India, Indonesia and Thailand. Every investment follows the same five steps: we listen, choose with local partners, check it can last, invest, and follow up.
