Food Solutions New England envisions a powerful food movement that democratically transforms New England’s food
system so that it is sustainable, just, and resilient. As the FSNE network enters its second decade, individuals and organizations are invited to act by signing on to the newly launched?FSNE Pledge?to officially demonstrate commitment to these values and to strengthening of our regional food system so that it works for everyone.
The Food Solutions New England Pledge
I/We envision a regional New England food system that is sustainable, just, and resilient. I/we agree to:
- Advance a food system that supports democratic empowerment in all its forms.?A just food system requires the active participation of as many people as possible across New England. We celebrate and value engagement in our shared civic life by everyone living in our region.
- Commit to using our power to support racial equity and dignity for all.?Fairness, inclusiveness, and solidarity must guide our food future. We believe that racism must be undone in order to achieve an equitable food system.
- Lift up and support the principles and practices of sustainability in its many forms. Sustainability commits us to ensure well-being for people, animals, and the lands and waters we all depend on for life, now and in the future. We know that the health of our food system is interdependent with that of these lands and waters, as well as of our democracy, our culture and our economy.
- Build trust among diverse people, organizations, businesses, networks, and communities in order to ensure a thriving regional food system that works for everyone. Collaboration is key to our long-term success in creating the sustainable, just and resilient food system we envision, and trust is the lifeblood of collaboration.
- Work together to make meaningful progress toward the stronger and more resilient regional food system?embodied by the?New England Food Vision.
