Food security is an increasingly important subject for many people for a variety of reasons. One national organization working hard to improve food security nationwide is The Community Food Security Coalition.
From their site:
“The Community Food Security Coalition (CFSC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3), North American organization dedicated to building strong, sustainable, local and regional food systems that ensure access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food for all people at all times. We seek to develop self-reliance among all communities in obtaining their food and to create a system of growing, manufacturing, processing, making available, and selling food that is regionally based and grounded in the principles of justice, democracy, and sustainability.”
Their website is a great place to learn more about food security, what you can do to help your community become food secure, assistance in applying for Community Food Project (CFP) grants, and much more.
