This $131,606 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to strengthen networks of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color working in sustainable regional systems. Over the one-year period from March 2022 to February 2023, the awardee will collaborate with stakeholders including the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust and Black Farmer Fund to co-design a collective impact model and framework. Through surveys, focus groups and interviews, the research team aims to develop a common agenda and better understand the factors supporting sustainable regional systems. The grant also seeks to determine key assets and gaps in creating more collective power for long-term sustainability in these systems. Outcomes intend to provide opportunities to address legacies of racial injustice through repairing relationships between BIPOC communities and the land, while restoring regional ecosystems.
