[FIG-ALL] FIG's mission: focus in 2009

[Lisa Gruver]

Hi all,

As the board is preparing for a great meeting on Monday, January 12, at 7 pm at New Copperfield's Book Service....

and as we have been looking back at a fantastic first year as FIG seedlings....

we thought that FOCUS would be a good idea.....

and in light of that....

please comment....

on a proposed revision of our mission statement and goals!  Please comment!   

The mission of Food Initiatives Group is to inspire community members to grow a just, sustainable, and local food system.



We inspire by:

-educating consumers about food choices

 -engaging consumers in growing, eating, and preparing food 

-fostering food-related networks

-pursuing favorable policy changes in agriculture

Macomb's Food Initiatives Group (FIG) advocates
for a revolution of food and agriculture – the resurgence of a local
food culture that provides every person access to sustainably produced,
nutritious food.

 Our goals are to promote the participation of community members in:

        •        understanding, fostering, and
celebrating the ecological, economic, ethical, social, and historical
components of sustainable food networks.

        •        developing appreciation for the growing, preparing, and eating of food.

        •        supporting policies that facilitate expansion of the local foods market and education of new farmers.
