The Equitable Food Economy Collaborative is a partnership between regional nonprofits, producers, Oregon State University, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and Prosper Portland. These partners work together toward shared goals that will catalyze the development of an equitable and resilient regional food economy.
Prosper Portland convenes the partnership which is composed of community-based organizations and food system stakeholders, and provides direction and oversight to guide this food system development work.
The partnership’s vision is to work collaboratively to identify and achieve shared goals that address barriers to entrepreneurship and wealth building for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) producers.
Goals
Assessment and Community Engagement
The Equitable Food Economy Collaborative is a partnership between regional nonprofits, producers, Oregon State University, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and Prosper Portland. These partners work together toward shared goals that will catalyze the development of an equitable and resilient regional food economy.
Regional Food System Action Plan
The partnership will develop a regional food system action plan that provides a framework for collaboration among diverse food system stakeholders, inspires philanthropic and private investments in inclusive food systems infrastructure, and offers specific enterprise or programmatic solutions for implementation. This work will be accompanied by deliberate capacity building and formalization of the partnership throughout the grant period in order to leverage the partnership’s collective expertise, technical capabilities, and access to non-federal financial resources in service of building a stronger, more inclusive, and resilient regional food system.
