Oakland Food Connection promotes nutritional awareness, access to healthy foods, and connections between people and our planet. Since its founding in 2005, we have established programs that support school and community gardens, community-based farmers markets, and youth entrepreneurship projects. Our health-focused economic development approach is intended to combat high rates of chronic community challenges- preventable diseases (such as diabetes, asthma, cancer and obesity), mental disorders, homicides and high unemployment rates that plague our communities. Through our work, we improve access to health-promoting resources such as healthy food and green space, while empowering youth to develop as skilled leaders and change agents capable of creating healthy environments for their communities.
