So can you talk a little bit about the Marigold Fund and what led you to start it and, and what made you wanna build something new as opposed to joining already existing efforts?

Yeah.

Thank you, Faith, and thanks everyone for having us on.

So the Marigold Fund at People Food and Land Foundation, and I guess I should make sure that I say that several times for those who are listening, that there are a couple Marigold Funds out there, so if you're looking to learn about this one, go to peoplefoodandland.org and navigate to the Marigold Fund there.

But this fund came about After over 10 years of working in some of California's extremely remote rural communities, pushing for policy and legal restructuring that could help them to access basic things like land and water, basic things that we need to survive, like safe drinking water, for instance.

And the Central Valley is this, it's an incredible place.

I know I'm, I'm biased, but it's visible from outer space.

What about you, Janaki?
