Mission Statement
The Food Project’s mission is to create a thoughtful and productive community of youth and adults from diverse backgrounds who work together to build a sustainable food system. Its community produces healthy food for residents of the city and suburbs, provides youth leadership opportunities, and inspires and supports others to create change in their communities.
About This Cause
Since 1991, The Food Project has built a national model of engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture. Each year, we work with 140 teenagers and thousands of volunteers to cultivate over 70 acres of urban and suburban farmland in eastern Massachusetts. We consider our hallmark to be our focus on identifying and transforming a new generation of leaders by placing teens in increasingly responsible roles, with deeply meaningful work. Food from our farms is distributed through our community-supported agriculture programs and farmers' markets and donated to local hunger relief organizations. The young people working in our programs participate in all of these distribution streams, giving them valuable job experiences and a personal connection to our food system and issues of food justice.
