A Shared Commitment to Food Systems Transformation
At the heart of INI’s mission is a commitment to inclusive and participatory models, from Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to farmer-consumer collaborations and social entrepreneurship. These initiatives align strongly with our coalition’s vision of building resilient, community-driven food systems that are locally rooted and globally connected.
Research as a Tool for Empowerment
INI also champions participatory and community-based research, believing in its transformative power to drive systemic change and democratize knowledge ensuring that communities are not only studied but actively shape the narratives and solutions that impact them.
We are proud to stand alongside INI Innovation Network International in our collective effort to transform food systems for the better. Their work resonates deeply with our mission, and we look forward to fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and impactful action together.
Welcome to the coalition, INI!
