Mission

Food Systems Network NYC is a membership organization working toward universal access to nourishing, affordable food. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, the Network is helping to establish a just and vibrant regional food and farm economy that promotes human and environmental health and prevents hunger.

We embrace the following values:

Access to wholesome, safe, nourishing food is a basic human right, integral to healthy individuals and healthy communities.

Every stakeholder has a voice in food systems matters - from agricultural producers and food processors to food workers, distributors, and eaters. Their informed engagement in food policy formulation and execution is central to sustaining a good and fair food system.

Diversity of food sources, distribution channels, and access opportunities is fundamental to healthy food systems.
