Grow New Orleans

Grow New Orleans, a gathering of individuals, agencies and groups interested in public health, growing, nutrition, food access and Food Justice issues meets seasonally (four times yearly). The New Orleans Food & Farm Network, participating organizations and individuals are working to share resources, develop collaborations, and focus attention on the need for a healthy and sustainable food system in a rebuilt New Orleans. The group has agreed on the following mission to guide their efforts:

To come together to support and strengthen our individual work and to be a collective voice for a healthy food system.

Current work focuses on formalizing the organization and developing it into an active food policy network that can speak for our collective vision of a healthy local food system that serves all New Orleanians.
