  • We partnered with @raceforward and the Surdna Foundation to develop a simple, accessible and easy-to-read resource, the Racial Equity Implementation Guide for Food Hubs, to foster conversations to help deepen racial equity practices. Food hubs –– businesses or organizations that manage the collection, distribution and marketing of food products –– have the potential to increase the financial success of farmers and suppliers of color. The guide provides strategies on how to implement racial equity practices at multiple levels of food hub operations. Discover how food hubs can help create a more equitable food system for all, link in bio. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #FoodHubs #ReframingFoodHubs #Collaboration #RacialEquity #Strategies #Resource #Guide #NationalGood #F2SMonth #Farmers #Community #SupplyAndDemand #Operations #SupplyChain #FoodHub #F2SMonth
  • We’re celebrating National #FarmToSchool Month by sharing how our grantees and partners are creating a more equitable food system for children. @keepgrowingdetroit exists to promote a food sovereign city in Detroit, where the majority of fruits and vegetables residents consume are grown within city limits. Its programs range from produce donations to educational programs for early childhood, youth and adults. Community members of all ages can also attend classes through the “Urban Garden Education Series” to learn how to grow, maintain, harvest, preserve and eat fruits and vegetables from urban gardens and farms. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #F2SMonth #FarmToECE #FoodJustice #HealthyFoods #FoodSystems #Detroit #Michigan #SocialChange #HealthyKids #Farm #FoodEquity #ECE #YouthEducation #CommunityEngagement #FoodSovereignty #EducationPrograms #Local
  • "Farm to school makes so much sense when we talk about the problems we face with the economy and our health. This can provide both more income for our farmers and healthier kids.” - Sunny Baker, co-director of the Mississippi Farm to School Network and #WKKFCLN Class Two fellow Sunny Baker (@sunnyspeaksfood) has worked to lead school food reform and create a new culture of regionally-based eating for 10 years. She co-leads the Mississippi Farm to School Network to connect communities to fresh, local food. Her work inspires students to learn about and eat good, clean and fair food. She works with school leaders to implement an innovative farm to school approach to transform cafeterias and classrooms across her state. Baker also directs EduFood Consulting, offering resources and pragmatism to help communities and schools strategize good-food solutions. Baker presents on food systems change and, in 2014, her work was featured at TedXManhattan. She is a graduate of @hendrixcollege. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #F2SMonth #FarmToSchool #MSF2SN #FoodJustice #HealthyFoods #FoodSystems #Mississippi #TransformationalChange #HealthyKids #LocalFarm #WomenLeader #MississippiFarmToSchool #TedXManhattan @ccldotorg
