About
Asparagus is a publication dedicated to telling the large and small stories of how we can live sustainably, from an environmental, social, and cultural perspective. We aim to approach these stories in a way that is intersectional, impactful, firmly grounded in science, but also fun.
The Asparagus vision: Stories cultivating a just society on a healthy planet.
Asparagus started publishing online in February 2018. A successful crowdfunding campaign paid for the first print issue, which came out in the summer of 2019. The publication is funded through a combination of reader subscriptions and donations, advertising by select organizations, government grants, events, and merchandise sales.
Asparagus is published by the Asparagus Journalism Society, which is based on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations.
