Ecotrust is a conservation organization committed to strengthening communities and the environment from Alaska to California. Ecotrust works with Native peoples and in the fisheries, forestry, and food sectors to build a regional economy based on social and ecological opportunities.

Ecotrust's Food & Farms program publishes Edible Portland as part of its work to create a vibrant regional food system where sustainability is the underlying value of the mainstream food system. Deborah Kane, Edible Portland publisher and Vice President of Ecotrust's Food & Farms program, describes the program in this video.

This video is thanks to Ecotrust's partnership with a local film company that produces Cooking Up A Story, a show about real people and their special connections to food and sustainable living. Cooking Up A Story’s work is shot unscripted, and the stories are told in the voice of the subject.
