The Foodshed Network advances food system transformation so that people and the earth CAN thrive. We connect, educate, advocate and network weave to inspire investment in a resilient foodshed and a just and equitable food economy, so that everyone has access to nourishing, local food.
The Foodshed Network is a community joined together to increase awareness and support of a socially and ecologically responsible food system.
We serve as an education platform and resource that highlights food justice initiatives and bridges communities in Fairfield County.
We convene two initiatives, Greenwich Food Alliance and The Foodshed Forum, and curate a Resource Library.
Through a network of resources, experiential platforms and community based organizations we engage anyone, in Fairfield County, CT, and beyond, who is interested in learning about the impacts of the industrial food system and the change-making initiatives that are co-creating a better way. Do you know that the industrial food system is a leading cause of some of our biggest societal problems? Or that if we don’t change the way we produce, distribute, process, source and dispose of food we will fail to adequately address some the most pressing social and ecological issues of our time?

TFN highlights an alternative path guided by community-based initiatives that demonstrate what is possible if WE The Foodshed Network is committed to food justice: "recognizing that issues of food and land access are deeply intertwined with issues of race, class, and social justice. The dominant US food system was built on Indigenous genocide and land theft and the enslavement and exploitation of Black people; injustices continue today through food apartheid, inequitable land access, and environmental degradation. Our dominant, increasingly consolidated food system exploits people, animals, and land to generate profits for a smaller and smaller number of larger and larger corporations."
