]]> The Rockefeller Foundation Presents: Quick Bites

Buying local can be good for a community’s health, the economy, and the climate. The Rockefeller Foundation’s grantee, the Common Market, makes this happen every day by connecting small producers and farms to schools, hospitals, and other large institutions. Doing this helps change the thinking around our food system in large chunks, not small nibbles. Supporting local farms also supports good paying jobs, and buying nearby minimizes carbon emissions from long shipping trips.

Supporting local farms also supports good paying jobs, and buying nearby minimizes carbon emissions from long shipping trips. That’s the power of procurement, and it’s one way our grantees make Opportunity Universal and Sustainable.
