Community Food Funders strives to transition our food system to one that pursues a true triple bottom line.

Equitable for everyone along the food chain, from growers, workers, and processors, to distributors, retailers, consumers, and waste handlers.
Ecologically sound so that food is produced, transported, and consumed in a way that eliminates or minimizes the use of toxic chemicals and fossil fuels, and is regenerative and sustainable in its production.
Economically robust supporting a multiplicity of ownership models for enterprises along the food supply chain, without disproportionate control or influence by largecorporations, and without barriers to entry.
In pursuit of this goal, Community Food Funders believe that those most impacted and negatively affected by the current system should be part of the dialogue about moving forward, including decision-making and visioning.
