The goal of our Food Systems focus area is to grow healthy, just, regenerative, equitable, and cooperative food systems.

2024 Available Funding: All funds have been committed for 2024 through multi-year grants awarded in 2023.

Focus Area Lead: Kristina Kalolo, Community Partner

Priorities

Through collaborative and cooperative approaches, we support work in these eight areas:

  • Food and land justice and sovereignty

  • Food access and ending hunger

  • Food and farm business development support

  • Fisheries and aquaculture

  • Access to capital and markets

  • Food network development

  • Healthy soils and clean water

  • Food policy

Preference is given to:

  • Organizations that demonstrate cooperative, collaborative, and integrative approaches that build bridges across sectors and systems, and engage stakeholders in decision-making and ownership; and

  • Newer and smaller organizations.

2024 Grantmaking

As all funds for this focus area have been allocated to multi-year grant commitments, no new applications will be considered in 2024.
