We support socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable food systems that promote health- the current and future health of individuals, communities and the natural environment. A healthy and sustainable food system is:
- Health-Promoting
- Sustainable
- Resilient
- Diverse in size and scale, geography, culture and choice
- Fair
- Economically Balanced
- Transparent
A health, sustainable food system emphasizes, strengthens and makes visible the interdependence and inseparable relationships between individual sectors (from production to waste disposal) and characteristics of the system.
