  - - Grassroots Action Network
      Our US Program (or our Grassroots Action Network) works in partnership with community-based leaders, organizations, and networks. We understand that without having the necessary lived experience, we cannot hope to build a movement for just and equitable food systems in the U.S. We support capacity building, community organizing, and elevating collective power to improve people’s social and economic realities.
