Organization Description

Integrative Development Initiative (IDI) was formed to steward the broad purpose of providing access to resources, services, and education that holistically promote healthy, equitable, and sustainable development for people, communities, and our planet. IDI currently runs multiple project initiatives and uses worker self-directed nonprofit organizing principles. Our most active initiatives are the Commons Restoration (CORE) Initiative, ECOFARM Initiative, Food Cycle Collective, and the Pomona Community Farmer Alliance (PCFA). We strive to bring about a world that is more compassionate, harmonious, equitable, sustainable, healthy, and beautiful.
