The Wallace Center supports entrepreneurs and communities as they build a new, 21st century food system that is healthier for people, the environment, and the economy.

Our role is four-fold:

• We build links in the growing and diverse network of food and farm innovators with events and communications that bring participants together.

• We strengthen this network by gathering information from it and sharing participants’ learning through the network and with policy makers.

• We prime the pump of change by monitoring the emergence of useful models and helping others adopt or adapt them.

• We work to bring financial resources and other capacity-building support to good-food innovators.
