CFM is actively implementing several of the 20 climate solutions outlined by Drawdown Georgia, particularly in underserved communities. During a recent episode of the Georgia Climate Digest video series, hosted by seasoned climate justice advocate Eriqah Vincent, CFM’s Director of Operations & Vendor Support Casey Hood and Food Systems Innovation Manager Raevin Hawkins discussed how their initiatives are cutting carbon emissions, addressing food insecurity, and fostering stronger community connections.
