Who are the Roots of Change Fellows?
Fellows get to work in the CLBL farm house.
Chosen through an open application process, the ROC Fellows
are a diverse group of CA food system leaders working together
to develop strategies to create a sustainable food system for CA by
2030. Each class of ROC fellows is selected to reflect a level of
diversity and experience representative of the current CA food system.
The fellows are chosen based on a wide variety of considerations
including: their role in food system, leadership experience,
project/business experience, connections to extended CA networks, and
diversity of age, race, and geographic location to reflect the state’s
overall diversity.

What is the Changemakers Network?
Movement toward a sustainable food
system is underway. Many individuals, organizations, businesses, and
agencies are already working to change the current system.
The Changemakers Network is a statewide
coalition that combines all these individual efforts into a common
framework in order to maximize impacts that will spur system-wide
change.
Everyone in the food system is welcome
to join the Changemakers Network. Whether you’re a business owner,
the head of a school nutrition program, a dairy operator, or an
enthusiastic eater – your leadership is needed to create a
sustainable food system for California in one generation.
