SHAPING OUR FOOD SYSTEMS

The Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger envisions food systems across Colorado that are equitable, sustainable, and community-driven. We support policies and practices that prioritize local food production, promote food sovereignty, and ensure everyone living here has access to healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant food.

Our movement is led by the people who grow, produce, sell, eat, and influence policies around food. We’re shifting power to Colorado communities so they can shape how their food is grown, distributed, and consumed.

Colorado Food Systems Roundtable

Join us at the table! As part of our organizational commitments, we host the bi-monthly Colorado Food Systems Roundtable to create space for sharing updates, building connections, and minimizing silos between state agencies and partners across the state.

This space has evolved to better serve those working together to alleviate hunger now while building a more responsive, equitable, and sustainable food system for the future.

 CO-FARM: A Community Food Sovereignty Model

To help achieve food sovereignty, the Blueprint aims to create CO-FARM, the Community Food Assessment and Resiliency Model. It aims to draw upon contemporary best practices and collective wisdom already being implemented to support existing and future community-driven food systems that emphasize ecological soundness, community values, and sustainable methods.

CO-FARM will be a tool that helps communities create their own vision for a localized food system.
