America has always been a mix of cultural food traditions. Its wealth of foodways (the agricultural and culinary traditions around food) allows us to be part of an expansive awareness. As cities become more culturally diverse, it’s a chance for renewed cultural fusion. Building our food webs to nourish, to grow, and to strengthen communities lets us all thrive.
As we lean into more diverse foodways, we’re reclaiming food and culture to create security, order, and resilience in our communities. Food access, education, and supporting farmers throughout our food system all help create healthy communities. We share our collective values and our commitment to honoring our food cultures, foodways, and traditions that honor the land stewardship of our forebears. We prove that challenges and barriers can’t stop the moral courage and steadfastness of communities working diligently toward the common good and sharing the bounty of the land.
