About Our Partner – HEAL Alliance

No single organization can transform our food system on its own, but together we can build a system that is healthy for our families; accessible and affordable for all communities; and fair to the hard-working people who grow, distribute, prepare and serve our food — while protecting the air, water and land we all depend on. Bringing together the various sectors of food and agriculture — farmers, laborers, food service and production workers — with agricultural policy experts and community organizers and activists, HEAL seeks change in our national food system, from the corner store to Capitol Hill. We share the belief that a renewed food system will result in thriving local economies, better stewardship for the environment, and healthier individuals and families nationwide. And we work to turn that belief into reality through cross-community organizing, advocating for policy solutions, and holding powerful food system actors accountable for their actions.
