Born out of a founding Summit in November 2023, we took on the question
How do we rapidly scale regional plant-based materials in North America?
We are a collective network of members hailing from diverse locations in the built environment landscape – foresters, farmers, manufacturers, architects, builders, developers, academics, students, engineers, educators, artists, journalists, policy-makers, and more.
We come together under the shared understanding that the disruption inherent in the polycrisis spurs us to act boldly and create regenerative paths forward, now; and that systems-level problems require cross-discipline creative responses.
