INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD SYSTEM
We are a women-owned advisory firm that measures, strategizes and supports progress across the food system. We advise clients on business planning and development; project feasibility, need, and best practices; food hub networking; culinary operations; and food production. Regional supply chain infrastructure, sustainability, food security, and equity underpin our work.
Food Works Group has over three decades of food systems experience - and has seen firsthand the fast-paced evolution of our current food system. Our diverse project portfolio ensures an informed, effective experience, and helps clients find new opportunities to work collaboratively and efficiently.
We work in service to a more equitable food system
FWG is committed to uncovering and disrupting the tenets of white supremacy that underpin our food system. We recognize the multiple, intersectional barriers that prevent Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers, food vendors, and food system leaders from achieving their full potential, and we strive to recognize, address, and work to eliminate these barriers whenever possible. We recognize that hunger and health disparities often fall along racial lines. We work to elevate the voices of marginalized communities through thoughtful, informed engagement and encourage our clients to consider the time, resources, and reflection that true inclusion and restorative justice demands. FWG is committed to continued learning and self-evaluation on racism in the food system and the nuanced impacts of systemic racism on food justice.
Our Clients
FWG clients include non-profit , for-profit organizations, and civic entities, ranging from city and county governments, agricultural food hubs and networks, and shared-use kitchens to hunger-relief organizations, commercial food accelerator programs and beyond.
