Fair Food Network is a Detroit-based organization that is dedicated to building a more equitable and resilient food economy. Through their Double Up Food Bucks program, they provide nutrition incentives by matching SNAP or food stamp purchases of fruits and vegetables, benefiting both low-income families and local farmers and food retailers. They also support food and farm businesses through impact investing, with a focus on marginalized individuals, and lead technical assistance and innovation for the Nutrition Incentive Hub, a USDA-supported center that strengthens nutrition incentive and produce prescription projects across the country.
With a commitment to immediate impact and long-term systems change, Fair Food Network has invested millions of dollars into communities, facilitated millions of pounds of healthy food purchases, and advocated for policy updates through their farm bill initiatives. They have also partnered with organizations like Taste the Local Difference and Sustainable Food Center to bring locally sourced produce to Detroit communities and expand access to healthy foods in economically disadvantaged areas. By reshaping investment norms and prioritizing community and relationships, Fair Food Network is working towards a more inclusive and sustainable food system.
