Research in Natural Templates
We are fascinated by Creation's natural templates, its altruistic synergies and combinatory efficacies. Working in the naturally-existing, codependent areas of health, from the soils that nourish our crops, to the health of our bodies consuming our harvests, we are actively engaged in evidence-driven problem-solving in some of the world's greatest challenges in hunger, health and climate. Presently active research collaborations include a randomized controlled trial in Food is Medicine, in partnership with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a local, critical access hospital.
Post-Harvest Measurement
Thanks to tools developed by Dr. Lisa Johnson, Growers for Grace helps specialty crop growers learn to measure post-harvest abundances and understand options in both commercial and charitable extensions of their crops. By supporting growers through post-havest measurement, we can help identify opportunities for growers to utilize more of the nutritious food cultivated, strengthening and sustaining our growers’ bottom line while improving resilience and health for everyone.
Circular Market Development
Using what we call the Grace Template, we are breaking barriers in linear supply chains to help turn post-harvest abundances into sustainable products with circular design. Today, many products and systems are designed to be discarded. However, the world is now recognizing it's not just the materials that are wasted in this linear-driven model but also its embedded energy and resources. As conscious consumerism drives a response, we're helping answer this call through sustainable, circular design, thus preventing unnecessary losses while healing equitably.
