Goals of Nourishing Power Networking Events

The goal of the Nourishing Power Networking Events is to build relationships and mobilize the capabilities of food systems leaders and allies. These events will showcase innovations emerging from Fellows, Advisory Council members, and Fund grantees. The events also aim to:

Increase knowledge and skills needed to successfully develop, implement, evaluate, and sustain community-driven food systems change.
Amplify narratives of community-driven food systems change led by community leaders.
Build community among food systems leaders and allies to foster a culture of nutrition equity among individuals, organizations, and the community.
