PART V, LINE 4:

“To support the programs of land stewardship project to fulfill its mission.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Management believes lsp has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and accordingly, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990/Desc0SEE SCHEDULE OCOMMUNITY BASED FOOD SYSTEMS THE COMMUNITY BASED FOOD SYSTEMS PROGRAM (CBFS) IS WORKING FOR A JUST, SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM FOR ALL ONE IN WHICH FOOD IS PRODUCED AT A HIGH LEVEL OF STEWARDSHIP FOR OUR SOIL AND WATER, AND WITH JUSTICE FOR PEOPLE. IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR SOIL HEALTH PROGRAM, CBFS ORGANIZED A TWO-DAY LEARNING CIRCLE FOR 27 PRACTITIONERS AND ACADEMICS ON CONSERVATION LEASES AND BUILDING STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES BY NON-OPERATING LANDOWNERS. WITH OUR PARTNERS AT HOPE COMMUNITY, WE OPERATED THREE GARDEN SPACES IN THE PHILIPS NEIGHBORHOOD, INCLUDING COMMUNITY, COMMUNAL AND TEACHING GARDENS. FORTY-FIVE ADULTS AND 35 YOUTH WERE ENGAGED IN PLANTING, TENDING AND HARVESTING THE GARDENS. WE ALSO PILOTED AN INDOOR VERMICULTURE PROJECT AND HELD MONTHLY SKILL SHARES ON FOOD PRESERVATION, CARE OF FRUIT TREES AND OTHER GARDENING AND FOOD TOPICS. LSP CONTINUED TO LEAD THE GOOD FOOD PURCHASING PROGRAM, A GRASSROOTS COALITION TO CREATE A TRANSPARENT AND EQUITABLE FOOD SYSTEM THROUGH MARKET PULL VIA INSTITUTIONAL PURCHASES. LSP HELD EXTENSIVE LISTENING SESSIONS WITH 23 FARMERS OF COLOR TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THESE FARMERS NEED TO SUCCESSFULLY MARKET FOOD THEY GROW TO LOCAL INSTITUTIONS. LSP ALSO WORKED WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOL CULINARY CENTER TO COMPLETE ITS SECOND ASSESSMENT OF FOOD PURCHASING ACTIVITY ALONG THE FIVE VALUE CATEGORIES: ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, ETHICAL TREATMENT OF LIVESTOCK, VALUED FOOD CHAIN WORKERS, NUTRITION AND LOCAL JOB CREATION. THE PROGRAM ALSO CO-SPONSORED AN EVENT IN LITCHFIELD, MN TO RAISE UP THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF RURAL FOOD COOPS IN LOCAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION. THE EVENT WAS ATTENDED BY 60 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 14 FOOD VENDORS.
