About
Mission
The National Right to Food Community of Practice weaves together and strengthens state and local efforts to advance the right to food in law, policy, and practice across the United States.
We bring human rights frameworks into local use through shared strategy and coordinated advocacy at home, while strengthening U.S. participation in global processes.
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.
