The Fair Food Foundation seeks to work with historically-excluded urban communities to design a food system that upholds the fundamental right to healthy, fresh and sustainably-grown food. We partner with individuals, groups within communities, community-based organizations, government leaders and others to discuss, develop, and implement a variety of strategies. We encourage local selection, ownership and control of food sources that are environmentally sound, socially just, and economically viable. We support communities to imagine and realize opportunities that fit their needs.
