Diet, Geography, Access and Public Health (DGAP) is exploring persistent patterns of food system inequities, particularly in communities of color and economically or socially disadvantaged communities.

The Distribution and Food Hubs Work Group meets at the annual NESAWG conference to discuss issues, challenges, and best practices related to food hubs, value chains, and other strategies for wholesale distribution that support sustainable food systems goals and benefit all food systems stakeholders.

This group focuses on censorship of sustainable food and farming issues in the media and academia, and what we can do to address it.

This workgroup is an open forum to address and join together on specific activities regarding implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act, GAPs and other certifications, farmer education, and one-size-fits-all regulations.

This group is for folks interested or working on funding sustainable food systems initiatives, including foundations, financial institutions and angel investors as well as business intermediaries and researchers.

The Food Systems Planning Work Group is a community of practice for those engaged in planning activities that impact the food system. Members include regional and municipal planners, food policy council members, and others engaged in food system plans and policies.

This workgroup will continue discussions on linking the sustainable agriculture movement with food workers in order to change the food system.
