Brad Boa, DALLAS, TX-based social entrepreneur and co-founder of Restorative Farms, a USDA GAP-certifed urban regenerative agriculture operation in South Dallas, and a founding team member of Plan-T, a Dallas-based non-profit deploying Miyawaki-method "Tiny Forests" across DFW. A connector at the intersection of food systems, bioeconomy policy and community health, he serves on the steering committee of the Dallas - Dallas County Food System Collaborative and works closely with institutional partners including UT Southwestern, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the NCTCOG. His work aims to center a single argument: That restoring natural systems and building regional economic resilience are not seprate goals, they are the same project.
