The Purpose of the Center for Natural and Traditional Knowledge is to develop and distribute a template for sustainable co-existence and environmental education. Our mother organization in New Mexico was born from an international mandate from Leaders across North, Central and South America, to transition our economies back to localized community production.
We have a three-pronged approach to sustainable practice: Victory Gardens for the home, Children's Gardens for schools, and CSA Gardens for Villages and Communities. Available also are courses in sustainable practices, such as retrofitting buildings for efficiency, forest gardening and maple sugaring, construction of natural buildings with local materials, and basic earth-honoring teachings from around the world. Homeschool and after school programs are available.
Training Teachers to go out into our community and teach around relocalization is the key to Green Collar Jobs. We are reaching out to youth, college students and adults to fill those positions.
Collaborative Environmental Projects and Public Works allow us to employ those who are presently marginalized by our economic transition. No Child Left Inside means that we build a future together by teaching our children how to care for our environment for the future.
Our ability to collaborate will determine the outcome of our national and planetary transition to sustainability.

As we confront our mounting environmental, economic, and social crises, there is really only one alternative that solves all three at once: banding together in sustainable teaching and farming communities.
Drawing from the ‘Public Works’ model we stimulate the local economy by building a Center of sustainable co-existence that can educate, nourish and create Green Jobs.
