EQUITABLE FOOD-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: BUILDING COMMUNITY POWER

Picture
In 2017, the Equitable Food Oriented Development (EFOD) Collaborative invited DAISA to support drafting a body of work that would encompass the collaborative's collective understanding of this newly-defined development strategy. DAISA conducted an in-depth field scan and analysis researching over 800 organizations throughout the United States. The 2019 Brown Paper was created to document and define this unique and powerful practitioner-led EFOD framework.
