Strategies

Encourage methods of soil cultivation that keep at least one-third of cultivated soil covered with the previous year’s crop residue (e.g., mulch till, ridge till, strip till, or no-till)

Establish a non-share capital cooperative model in which fee-paying members can share the communal resources of a grocery, house, or utility cooperative

Support a four-tiered approach to outdoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Increase voter turnout through get-out-the-vote campaigns and initiatives to make voting more convenient such as allowing early in-person voting, vote-by-mail, or expanding polling locations and hours
