Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Building from below is dedicated to research, education, and practical experimentation to support the creation of sustainable, self-determining communities. Our work is based on an organic farm and learning center where we build our vision for a democratic, egalitarian, and sustainable society by investigating the shifting social and ecological landscape and developing practicable alternative forms of organization such as worker cooperatives, agro-ecological farming, and affordable, energy-efficient housing.

The mission of building from below is to promote justice, equality, and sustainability by enabling everyday people to collectively decide upon and create community-based solutions and institutions that respond to their needs in the areas of housing, education, health, employment, and more.
