Securing Local Harvests & Fighting Hunger in Los Angeles
Farm2People is Promoting Local, Equitable Foodways
California is the nation’s largest food producing state, yet many reports show that 1 in 4 LA County households remain food insecure. We are working to bridge the divide.
Farm2People brings local farm produce to food insecure people.
We promote regenerative agriculture while fighting hunger in and around Los Angeles.
We are value chain operators, on a mission to build a food secure SoCal region while providing dignity to our growers and residents alike.
Farm2People Believes in Bio-Diverse Soil & Healthier Crops
Farm2People focuses its farm-side support on independent and socially disadvantaged growers who practice various forms of regenerative agriculture. Some practice organic farming, others practice cover cropping or dry farming or they minimize soil disturbance with no tilling.
While many definitions of regenerative proliferate, and while we know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Outcomes of regenerative farming include healthier crops and greater soil biodiversity, sequestering carbon and revitalizing soil.
“Delivering a vision for sustainable, inclusive, efficient, nutritious and healthy food systems will require stepping outside of siloed thinking and reinventing cooperation across the food system.”
