Funding Priorities
 
Roots of Change is currently funding four collaborative projects that resulted from our 2008 class of Fellows. During the  Fellowship, each Workgroup developed a project plan for the period 2009-2012, for implementation with their Workgroup members. The four Workgroups focused on the following goals:
  • Labor: Creation of a Worker-Owned Farm Labor Hiring/Recruitment System as an ethical alternative to farm labor contractors, offering improved living and working conditions for farmworkers and benefits for farmers.
  • Regional Food Systems: Creation of a Bundled CSA model that takes the CSA concept to scale via bundling produce from multiple farms and delivering directly to the consumer.
  • Health and Good Food Access: Creation of healthy, self-sustaining communities by supporting school food environments
  • Outreach to Conventional Agriculture: Creation of stronger relationships between Agriculture and the Food Movement by arranging a series of small dinner conversations throughout the state's key agricultural regions.
