Cultivating a Just and Equitable Hudson Valley Foodshed.
Our mission is to realize a more equitable and regenerative Hudson Valley food system by connecting food production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management practices while encouraging the use of our region's food resources to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our community.
Our Objectives
Create a clear picture of food system resources, assets, challenges, and opportunities.
Establish regional food system goals and objectives.
Develop strategies to implement these goals and objectives.
A more sustainable, vibrant, and holistic food system is needed & can be achieved. One that supports food access & food sovereignty, works for farmers and farm workers, meets the needs of larger purchasers & distributors, all while considering the reduction and proper management of waste and how to incorporate a host of educational initiatives, inventory management processes, and storage facilities. A system that creates jobs, stimulates the health and well being of our community, and supports our diverse populations- granting access to farm fresh food for all.
Bringing Partners Together and Stimulating Collaboration.

“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
