Radix Ecological Sustainability Center

The mission of the Radix Center is to promote ecological literacy and environmental stewardship through educational programs based around demonstrations of sustainable technologies. At the Radix Center, we believe it is possible to meet human needs while simultaneously restoring ecosystems. Good environmental stewardship is rewarded by better health, wholesome food, and strong communities. The Radix Center teaches practical skills that can be applied to create environmental and economic sustainability. An emphasis is placed on issues of food security, health, and the remediation of contaminated soils.

The Radix Center teaches environmental education in Albany's South End with a special emphasis on youth education. We provide elementary level programming and school tours as well as high school level employment. We work closely with other South End nonprofits to develop and maintain green spaces devoted to food crops.
