Greenwich Food System Forum (GFSF) is a multi-platform educational and convening initiative. Our integrated programming amplifies community- based organizations working towards food system transformation in Connecticut. We bridge initiatives throughout Fairfield County, and beyond, by strengthening the connections between those with the means to support an equitable, resilient and regional foodshed with those who are reshaping the system at the grass-roots. The GFSF 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.

MISSION
Meaningful transformation in the food system requires awareness and connection.
WHY
We believe that informed, connected and equitably resourced communities have full potential to help activate change.
PURPOSE
Our ecological and social structures can no longer endure the impacts of the industrial food system.
As a leading cause of biodiversity loss, climate change, diet related disease and economic disparities,
we must transform how we produce, procure, exchange and consume food, in order to sustain life on earth.
VISION * PRINCIPLES * VALUES
We envision a food system that equitably nourishes everyone, and functions as regional
food cultures, rooted in meaningful story, place and connection.

CALL TO ACTION
WE all have a role to play in reweaving our social and ecological fabric. Together, we can realize
a future that advances an equitable, just, resilient and regionalized Connecticut food system.
