From sourcing to distribution to food waste management, food access must be a holistic, non-transactional and dignified experience for all, rooted in communal and individual autonomy across communities.

Food systems issues are a human rights issue. Solutions need to address systemic inequities to empower individual agency and community-led resilience and accountability.

Informed by our understanding of the historical and systemic racial inequities of San Francisco, our food coalition centers racial equity by ensuring decision making, investment, and leadership are representative + inclusive of communities most affected.

Our coalition supports and advances an interconnected, community-centered, accessible, and abundant value chain that fosters agency, dignity, and health for San Francisco.

Bringing about a food system that is inclusive, community-led and participatory without the exploitation of people, land, or the environment.

We acknowledge that our food system exists within capitalism, and we aim to decouple the profit motive inherent in colonial/white culture from food. Food is essential. We work to be in reciprocity and respect with our food, the land it comes from, and the Indigenous people who are the land's true stewards.
