Our Mission & Vision
Who We Are
Econautics is a Fort Worth–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to conservation, urban agriculture, and hands-on education. Through our Living Laboratory approach, we transform underutilized urban land into meaningful learning environments where children and adults reconnect with the land, their food, and their communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to equip children and adults with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to grow food sustainably, care for the land, and build healthier, more resilient communities. Through conservation-focused education, we empower individuals to become environmental stewards and community changemakers.
OUR FOCUS
Econautics focuses on:
- Conservation and sustainability practices that protect soil, water, and ecosystems
- Urban agriculture using permaculture and agronomy principles
- Hands-on education for children through adults
- Partnerships with schools, educators, communities, and organizations
Our Living Laboratories serve as outdoor classrooms where learning happens through experience, collaboration, and care for the land.
OUR VISION
We envision urban communities where nutritious food is grown locally, land is conserved and restored, and people of all ages have access to meaningful outdoor education. Our vision is a future where conservation, education, and food systems work together to support healthy people and a healthy planet for generations to come.

Econautics invites educators, volunteers, landowners, community members, and partner organizations to work alongside us. Whether you are interested in teaching, learning, volunteering, or collaborating, there is a place for you in our Living Laboratories.
