Our Mission:
Empowering changemakers to build a sustainable, equitable food system



Our Vision

We envision a future where food is a catalyst for healthy communities and environments, and is equally accessible to all.

We Believe....

  • Our associates are a force for positive change

  • In championing and empowering diverse-owned food businesses

  • Food production should contribute to the regeneration of the earth and communities

  • Income should not determine the quality of your food

  • Hunger anywhere is unacceptable– food is a right for everyone

  • That food waste is a solvable issue and should be eliminated
