Growing Community Resilience Through Food
Our food and agriculture system is facing pressure—from ongoing, major world disruptions to climate shifts, to policy changes. But these challenges also open the door to change. With bold action and community support, farmers, food businesses, and local food economies can not only adapt—they can lead the way forward.
That's why we started the Resilience Fund.
Here's what this fund will do.
by keeping essential programs and food businesses running when public funding is uncertain and sustaining efforts that put healthy food on tables and support local farmers.
