National Faithlands Gathering 2021

The Interfaith Sustainable Food Collaborative works to:

• Reconnect religious people to a sustainable food system through their faith community
• Expand the base of the sustainable agricultural movement in order to improve public policy

The Interfaith Sustainable Food Collaborative advances this vision by:

• Connecting congregations with local farmers and gardeners to increase access to organic food and strengthen local economies.
• Sharing models, strategies and resources across faith traditions to help leaders bring programs and best practices to their congregations, camps and retreat centers.
• Providing one stop shopping for speakers, educational materials, and advocacy resources to help congregations engage to improve their understanding of and impact on the food system.
• Empowering leaders to develop congregational food policies facilitating a connection between the sacred creation and what congregants consume when they come together to pray or celebrate.
