About
Mission
The National Right to Food Community of Practice is a coalition advancing the right to food in the United States for all. We strengthen local and state initiatives through shared learning, political education, and coordinated advocacy to transform law, policy, and practice that will uphold the right to food.
​
We bring together community organizers, advocates, legal experts, farm and food policy specialists, and all people who care about how we nourish people and the planet to build collective power and normalize the right to food in public discourse and policy, addressing the root causes of an unjust food system.
​
Together, we are building a broad-based movement for the right to food - one that ends hunger, supports fair and sustainable food systems, and ensures that every person can access nourishing food with dignity.​​
We envision a just food system that nourishes both people and the planet. In this future, every person can access nourishing food with dignity, and public institutions are designed for the wellbeing of our communities, landscapes, and waterways. The right to food is fully recognized and normalized in public life, guiding how communities, movements, and policymakers work together to ensure that everyone has access to healthy, culturally connected, and sustainably produced food.
Vision
A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common concern, a set of problems, or an interest in a topic who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals.
