The Henry P. Kendall Foundation supports state and regional farm to school and food system networks that serve as critical hubs for resources, relationship building, advocacy, and mentorship. Their collective efforts support long-term systemic change by establishing regional visions, advancing leadership development, and influencing policy change.
Strong regional partners like Farm to Institution New England (FINE), the New England Food System Planners Partnership, and the Northeast Farm to School Collaborative are key drivers of this work, bringing diverse advocates to a shared table, coordinating cross-state collaboration, and amplifying the voices of this movement.
Statewide farm to school and food system networks play an important role in connecting aligned efforts, developing shared goals, and outlining roadmaps for progress.* They support critical initiatives like universal school meals, farmland protection, and local food access programs by introducing policy and mobilizing their networks.
*This is an invitation-only grant program supports emerging and existing leaders working throughout the farm to school and campus movement in New England.
