About [Edit]
FoodRoutes Network [FRN] is a national nonprofit organization that provides communications tools, technical support, networking and information resources to organizations nationwide that are working to rebuild local, community-based food systems. FRN is dedicated to reintroducing Americans to their food, the seeds it grows from, the farmers who produce it, and the routes that carry it from the fields to their tables. Our strategic communications programs include:
* "Buy Fresh Buy Local" national network of chapters
* The FoodRoutes Web site
* National polling research
* Message development for sustainable food and farming systems
* Communications tools?including our Communicator`s and Buy Local toolkits
* Farm to College tools and resources
* Listing of local farms and directories on a GIS enabled map
* Implementation strategies for state and local food system policies funded by the Farm Bill
The goal of this Web site is to provide timely information, resources and market opportunities for the food and farming community, community-based nonprofits, the food concerned public, policy makers and the media.
National polling research and message development is generating valuable information on food buyer attitudes and insight into the thinking and opinions of two groups vital to the success of sustainable farming and local food systems: the farmers who produce our food and those who buy it.
