Congratulations to the team at the Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) for wrapping up their two-year 2022 New England Food Vision Prize! ? Over the project period, the Just Cut team washed, peeled, diced, and shredded more than 300,000 pounds of local produce sourced from 21 farms across Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, and Massachusetts. Their hard work transformed this fresh produce into meals for 280,000 individuals across 50 institutions in Vermont and New Hampshire. #NEFoodVision #FarmtoSchool

A family foundation based in Boston, MA, focusing on creating a resilient, healthy food system in New England.
关于我们
In July of 2011, the Henry P. Kendall Foundation launched its new regional food systems program. Since then, we have been actively partnering with the organizations, networks and leaders who are working on rebuilding a healthy food system in New England. The work and thinking of these leaders and other national experts has informed the formulation of a strategy for the Kendall Foundation’s grantmaking. We are inspired by the New England Food Vision for 2060, articulated by regional thinkers and practitioners and released by Food Solutions New England in 2014. The vision puts a stake in the ground that by the year 2060, 50% of the food eaten here will be produced here, and done so in a way that supports healthy food for all, sustainable farming and fishing and thriving communities. We think there is real value in a shared vision that can serve as motivation and provide a shared direction for our collective efforts. We look at the region and the food system as a whole, recognizing that many complementary strategies and tactics are required to create lasting change. Our aim is to work collaboratively with grantees, other funders and public and private sector partners toward this vision. We acknowledge that many inspiring examples exist in this region and we seek to complement these efforts in a way that leads to a well-coordinated and connected region. Our primary areas of focus are Farm to School and Regional Movement Building.

Well deserved recognition for Springfield Public Schools in the Boston Globe today. Their vision has always centered students and they have used the school meal program to create a multitude of positive impacts. Home Grown Springfield has generated student empowerment and engagement, support for local farmers and food producers, local employment opportunities, sustainability initiatives, a long list of healthy scratch-made ingredients used in daily menus, and celebrated cultural diversity through food. ?? Schools! The New England Food Vision Prize can help jumpstart or support your ongoing efforts within your school nutrition and college dining programs. Letters of Interest due Friday. #NEFoodVision, Henry P. Kendall Foundation
A quiet revolution has been taking place in Springfield’s school kitchens. And the students are eating it up.
