How to Make Regenerative Food Procurement Work: Lessons from the U.S.
['Niven Mccall-Mazza']
The Rockefeller Foundation
What if every public school and hospital in the United States and around the world consistently offered nutritious food grown sustainably by area farmers?
Meanwhile, regional, values-driven food systems remain under-resourced and lack the strong policy and market support necessary to transform the current food system.
Over the past five years, through our Good Food Procurement work, The Rockefeller Foundation has partnered with community-based organizations, nonprofits, cities, and regional coalitions across the United States to connect public food purchasing with diet, equity, and climate goals.
Together, we’ve built models that reimagine how public institutions can help create a more just and sustainable food system.
Though this work has so far centered on the United States, its implications are global.
