This award is named after Myra and Drew Goodman, founders of Earthbound Farm in Carmel Valley, California, one of the largest growers of organic produce in the world. Drew Goodman is a 1983 UCSC alumnus who received his degree in Environmental Studies and Environmental Design, and Myra is dedicated to organic agriculture. The Goodman’s commitment to protecting the environment and desire to support the mission of Drew’s alma mater motivated them to establish this award in 2006.
