Healthy food is a basic human right.  We organize and stand up for food justice and advocate for policy change for greater food equity, food sovereignty, and food security.

Food and Farm Policies

The Farm Bill passed in 2018 determines whether farmers markets and community food projects in Louisville have funding. With elections approaching, it is a good time to learn about the kinds of food policy you hope to see in the future.  FIN created the Eater’s Guide to the Farm Bill to provide a platform and questions for us to ask of candidates. It remains a useful resource for Louisville food and farm advocacy work!

Eater’s Guide

From Seed to Plate

Louisville Grocery Store Crisis

We are deeply concerned about Louisville grocery store closings, especially those serving low-wealth neighborhoods and seniors. This has become a crisis for people downtown and in many West Louisville neighborhoods. Community and government support to increase Fresh Stop Markets and to help get the Louisville Community Grocery up and running is part of the solution, but much more needs to be done.

GET INVOLVED

Come brainstorm with us on ways to address this issue.  Email finlouisville@gmail.com or visit the calendar for upcoming meetings!

Food System Crisis Map

Louisville Landbank Policies

We believe that community access to and ownership of land is the basis for food sovereignty and justice. The Louisville Landbank owns many vacant lots throughout the city. But, currently, the process for applying to purchase vacant lots is not open to folks interested in developing gardens or creating neighborhood green spaces. Read FIN’s letter to the landbank linked below to learn more about the current barriers to land access in Louisville and suggested solutions. Also, listen to the recent episode of “Truth to Power” on Forward Radio linked below which highlights FIN’s work on this issue.
