Reimagining Food Systems
Reimagining Food Systems
To end hunger, we must cultivate justice in our food systems. We envision a future where our communities grow, harvest and access foods that meet our diverse cultural and health needs, while honoring fair labor and the environment.
We are rooted in food justice, and we are rising for all.
