The Foodshed Forum (TFF) is a multi-platform educational and convening initiative. Our integrated programs: Fairfield County Foodshed Summit, CT Foodshed Tours and Experimental and Cultivation Events, amplify community-based organizations working towards food system transformation in Connecticut. We bridge initiatives throughout Fairfield County, and beyond, by strengthening the connections between food system community leaders and educating individuals on the ways they can be a food system changemakers and support an equitable, resilient and regional foodshed. The TFF platform facilitates the cross-pollination of ideas and best practices among food justice activists, farmers, producers, municipal leaders, policy makers, educators, youth, philanthropists, food enthusiasts and anyone who is interested in connecting and learning about local food. TFF frames the industrial food system through a racial justice lens. Programs integrate historical context to the story of land, farming and the arch of global food production including its through-line as an harmful system, while highlighting initiatives that center care for community and work to reweave, repair and heal our social and ecological fabric.
The Foodshed Forum is produced in collaboration
with the Greenwich Conservation Commission.
