We're building a community of people around the idea that culture is a key part of strengthening local food systems and inspiring people to buy from local farmers. The purpose is to spark interest in food sovereignty through Middle Eastern foodways.  Our goal is to provide transformative experiences that build community through storytelling, collaboration and impactful action. We hold the values of:
 
- Stewardship of the Earth
- Mentorship and sharing knowledge
- Mental health and whole person development
- Education through demonstrating the value of soil and nature
- Prosperity creation through good works that benefit people and planet
 
Learning doesn’t need to take place in a formal setting. We encourage hands-on learning.  The educational materials here can be incorporated into gardening activities, projects, and other experiential learning opportunities. Activities might be part of after-school programs, internships, etc. but the materials here can also serve as stand-alone resources.  We will reward individuals who are active contributors with additional feedback, opportunities to connect, and special bonuses. Check https://go.osu.edu/mideast-food for further information.
