Your Voice

A New Standard of Practice

The California Native Plant Foods Symposium is a deeply collaborative effort to establish a new way of working. This is not a one-time event; it's a foundation for a long-term, reciprocal partnership built on our shared commitment to the land and the health of our planet. We recognize that these plant foods connect us to the land and to one another, and we believe our collective well-being depends on this interconnectedness.

It is part of our commitment to ensure this foundation is solid. We want to hear what we can do better, not just what we're doing right. Your insights are essential to this new standard of practice and will help us ensure our collaborations are built with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts in our survey below. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us:

Elevate Community Perspectives: Ensure that the symposium continues to be guided by the needs and aspirations of the community.
A Holistic Approach: Understand how we can best support the revitalization and restoration of traditions and culture, and reawaken what was once broken or disconnected to foster a process of healing.
Inform Our Future Initiatives: Help shape the long-term work of the university in a way that is respectful and collaborative.
Strengthen Our Mission: Reinforce our commitment to building truly ethical and mutually beneficial relationships.

Your voice is invaluable, and we are listening.
