Food: Resource, Education, Security, Health

  
 Our mission is to encourage and empower broad participation in the hands on transformation of our food system from what it is to what it ought to be:
 
Healthy, Just, Sustainable, Accessible, Productive and Beautiful!
 
We envision broad participation in and universal access to a robust, productive, equitable, healthful and sustainable local food system in New London, Connecticut.
 
Practical agricultural projects will proliferate in our county; these will be vibrant and varied and well supported. They will include enterprises from seed to plate to generate money and jobs, education and wellness and all of these for public health, community development, social justice and ecological stewardship.
 
Healthy food will become the norm in our community: wholesome food and the skills and information for best use will be common. Resources and opportunities to access this food and to build related skills will be universal.
 
New London ranks 154 out of 169 CT towns and cities in food security. FRESH New London is trying to change that!
