From Programs to Power:

Building Nutrition Security Through Local Food Systems

Local food systems are essential infrastructure. The future of America’s communities lies in strengthening local food systems that restore health, stimulate local economies, and return power to the people most impacted by hunger. And that power is tangible: farmers securing stable and fair markets, communities gaining access to land and infrastructure, healthcare systems investing in food as a clinical intervention, and food banks evolving from emergency responders into systems-builders who support long-term resilience and dignity.
