WHO WE ARE
ABOUT SUN VALLEY INSTITUTE FOR RESILIENCE Founded in 2015, Sun Valley Institute for Resilience (SVIR) advances community resilience in the Wood River Valley region by educating, investing and collaborating to ensure that the economy, environment and people thrive. From our beginning, we have sought strategic levers that drive system-wide change. With food and agriculture as a keystone of our current work, our programs, Impact Idaho Fund and Local Food Alliance, build a resilient community by leveraging capital investment in regenerative business models and raising consumer awareness around the importance of uplifting regional food production.
ABOUT LOCAL FOOD ALLIANCE Local Food Alliance (LFA), a Sun Valley Institute for Resilience program, plays a vital role in building community resilience by helping grow our regional food system. We support independent farms and ranches, strengthen our farmers markets, increase the amount of local foods in schools and restaurants, and promote regenerative agriculture. This work is critical in combatting local and global problems including environmental degradation, climate change, food insecurity, diet-related health concerns and animal mistreatment.
