Too often decisions about how our communities access food — or don’t — are made far from our neighborhoods. As stewards of the Community Food Navigator, we work with the Navigator team to collaborate and create digital and in-person spaces where people, communities, and organizations connect and organize based on their shared interest in local, accessible, and healthy food for all. 

In developing the Community Food Navigator, we the growers and food producers set our project’s goals and priorities. As this project grows, we welcome you to join us in this approach.

The Community Food Navigator is building a collective voice, fostering new ways of connecting, exchanging, and amplifying the work of growers, producers, mobilizers, educators and allies supporting and sustaining community-driven solutions.

Please check out these lineamientos de la comunidad, which document the Community Food Navigator’s commitment to collective care. We encourage our shared community to foster digital and in-person experiences that safeguard the safety, inclusion, authenticity, and collective well-being of all our participants. 

We have just begun the development of this guidance.  As with all of this project’s efforts, we will improve the specificity and the language based on this community’s needs and experiences.
