This isn't right! Food is not just a necessity to be met. It's a human right!

Our Executive Director, Alba Velasquez, recently presented at SAM Initiative. She highlighted how nutrition incentive programs, such as LAFPC's Farm Fresh LA, are working to address this issue.

LAFPC's Cultivating Farms & Farmers (CF&F) program will seek to address the major challenges faced by BIPOC and beginning farmers and ranchers in the Los Angeles region. The Cultivating Farm & Farmers program will uniquely aim to support urban BIPOC farmers.

Last week, I visited La Placita La Oaxaqueña Market in #MacArthurPark! In partnership w/@USC’s Public Exchange Program & @GoodFoodLA, La Placita is committed to increasing access to healthy food.
