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.
Get involved in our current advocacy efforts:
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!

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!
