Congratulations to Barack Obama! We're proud that you will be steering America into the future. We encourage the Obama administration to support policies that:

 

  • *Create sustainable food systems.

  • *Create livable wages and end poverty in America.

  • *End hunger in America and abroad, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia.

  • *Create access to healthful foods for all people.

  • *Enable experts from various aspects of the food system and from within government to work together to create positive change.

  • *Create tax programs that benefit the nations' health, rather than feed corporate negligence. 

  • *Protect our environment and common goods so they are clean and free for all people including water, earth, air, and natural outdoor spaces. 

"People do not die for lack of incomes. They die for lack of access to resources."

Welcome to Connect Nutrition

Connect Nutrition was founded to address the need for unique and innovative solutions to solve problems of inadequate nutrition, hunger, and food insecurity in our world. 

 

We create connections and opportunities for Communities, Organizations, and People.

Connect Nutrition supports organizations participating in active food, nutrition, and agriculture policy advocacy efforts and nutrition program planning and implementation to increase community food security, decrease hunger,  increase access to healthful foods, and create sustainable food systems. 

We do this by assisting local, national, and international non-profit organizations, government agencies, academic institutions, socially responsible businesses, and community groups in all aspects of program design, evaluation, training and management, policy analysis, and advocacy in the areas of food security, community development, and poverty alleviation. 

Oftentimes, our clients face unfriendly political environments, operate with dwindling resources, experience budget pressures, and are in need of expert knowledge of food, nutrition, and agricultural policy, nutrition science, or technical expertise for program planning. These problems present a variety of challenges. Connect Nutrition helps organizations to achieve their missions by capitalizing on core strengths and lending expertise in the areas most needed.

In the eloquent words of Doc Hatfield, "We are a community of shared values. . . healthy land, healthful food, healthy community. . . we're all one family." 

Contact us today and achieve your mission!
