The Community Food Security Coalition was a North American non-profit made up of 325 member organizations who focus on social and economic justice, the environment, nutrition, sustainable agriculture, community development, labor, anti-poverty, and anti-hunger initiatives.
The organization encouraged a system for food sovereignty grounded in the principles of justice, democracy, and sustainability.
The coalition sought to further these goals through a comprehensive approach of policy advocacy, education and networking, and technical training.
CFSC worked with The California Food and Justice Coalition, supported a national Farm to School and Farm to College network, and advocated for sustainable and equitable national food policies in Washington, DC.
The coalition supported community food projects by advocating for and providing assistance to groups receiving or applying to the Community Food Projects Competitive Grants Program.
