RIFPC MISSION

The Rhode Island Food Policy Council is building a more equitable, accessible, economically vibrant, and environmentally sustainable food system in Rhode Island.

We coordinate and collaborate with diverse people from all sectors who are committed and engaged in making our food system equitable; supporting farms, fisheries and food businesses; and working to improve and conserve our land, air, and water. We create partnerships, develop policies, and advocate for improvements to the local food system.

Yes

I commit to upholding RIFPC's Commitment to Equity and Justice in participating in work group and council activities.

RIFPC COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND JUSTICE

RIFPC recognizes the fact that many negative impacts of Rhode Island’s current food system are grounded in a history of colonialism, genocide of indigenous people, slavery, private ownership of land, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of too few.

We also recognize that people with visible and non-apparent disabilities are among the most marginalized groups in our country. RIFPC believes that when power shifts to be shared more equitably across our communities and our state, we transform our future together for generations to come.

The mission of RIFPC is twofold. First, to build and maintain a strong network of committed stakeholders from across our entire food system. Second, to leverage that network to build a strong food system that is environmentally and economically sustainable, and that provides all Rhode Islanders with wholesome and affordable food. We believe that it is only possible for us to fulfill this twofold mission by identifying and working to eliminate the ways in which our food system is unjust.

In 2019, Council Members worked together to form this statement. It is revisited each year by the Council, Board, and staff. We strive to become a transformative, anti-oppression organization.

Yes

I commit to participating regularly in work group meetings for the coming year and abiding by the meeting agreements and decision-making processes laid out in the RIFPC Council Member Resource Guide
