Mission
SCI2thrive
"SCI IS COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION, CREATING INCLUSIVE, VIBRANT, AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES THROUGH NEW FOOD, ENERGY, AND WATER ECOSYSTEMS BASED ON LOCALIZING THESE SYSTEMS."
implementing the mission
SCI partners with each community (urban or rural) to develop a process of transformation that enables communities to be self-sufficient and produce wealth for "Main Street, not Wall Street."
The platform for this circular economy approach is the three systems essential to thriving - food, water, and energy. These systems create community and economic development ecosystems, creating jobs, retaining wealth, and generating entrepreneurs.
