I had a wonderful experience collaborating with the Food First community of hard-working and compassionate people to provide each other with support and intellectual stimulation to carry out research and to craft strategies to tackle the problems of food and social injustice. Through research and discussions, I learned immeasurably about the challenges we face in democratizing the food system and ending hunger and poverty. Knowledgeable of Food First’s domestic and international work, I am inspired and hopeful for the future.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... its positive impact on local communities and international grassroots movements.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the intellecutal and inspirational community.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... hard-working, compassionate, and down toearth.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... expand and increase the scope of its programs, and challenge the highly endowed corporations that threaten the food system.
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... I had more time to dedicate.
- If I ran this organization, I would... turn over my executive duties to the current E.D.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... the large agri-businesses that attempt to subvert the food system.
- One thing I'd also say is that... Food First is amazing.
MY ROLE: I was a Volunteer & I did research on agrofuels development in Colombia and participatory certification systems.
