Local Food Sustainable Network

Cooking Up A Story has grown tremendously over the past two years, so too the great organizations we feel privileged to call our friends and partners who support our efforts. It takes a network of individuals to broaden the conversation, share information, and effectively reach more people.

Local Food Sustainable Network now reflects this growing body of independent alliances designed to encourage a deeper understanding of the important issues involving food and sustainability that effects people throughout the world. These organizations are working toward a sustainable future; a world that protects the environment for generations to come; respects the dignity and human rights of all people—everywhere; supports agricultural practices and policies to alleviate world hunger, and improve the quality of our food; and strengthens the growth of local economies, the lifeblood of our communities.
