About Us

FINE serves a dynamic network of communities, organizations, and institutions working together to create a just, equitable, and regenerative food system in New England and beyond.

Institutions hold substantial power and wield significant influence in our food system through their food service, education, investment, employment and land use. We believe that developing institutional food value chains that are responsive to community needs and rooted in racial justice, food sovereignty and climate resilience is a critical way to leverage the power of institutions to change the food system.

The changes we seek can only be achieved when led by a collaborative, adaptive network committed to collective power and increased regional self-reliance.

We recognize that the inequities in our food system impact some communities more than others. Our strive that our work be informed by, participated in, and have a positive impact these priority impacted communities which we define as 1) Farms, producers, and food businesses, with an emphasis on those who have been structurally excluded from funding, resources, and decision making - and - 2) Communities and eaters who are impacted by institutional food systems and/or rely on institutions for a majority of their food and nutrients, with an emphasis on communities facing food apartheid.

FINE is committed to addressing the inequities on which our current food system is built and which we as food systems practitioners perpetuate when we accept the status quo.
