No More Empty Pots
We are creating a brighter, more self-sufficient future for all. Let us sow the seeds of change, invest in nurturing one another, and cultivate a "Legacy of Love" that uplifts and sustains a thriving community!
The mission of No More Empty Pots is to connect individuals and groups to improve self-sufficiency, regional food security and economic resilience of urban and rural communities through advocacy and action. We support communities in becoming self-sufficient and food secure through a systems approach to solutions.
