Dear FSLN Group -
I am excited to be able to introduce you to the nine companies selected for the Food System 6 Accelerator’s Cohort 7!
This unique group of leaders represents the passion and vision of a food system hit hard by the challenges of COVID-19, and the entrepreneurs and community change-makers that stepped up to meet the needs of this time. Cohort 7 represents a focus on food access and equity, regional food system infrastructure, and alternative business solutions. These leaders are not only addressing the unique circumstances of the past year - they represent real local solutions that are part of a systems shift towards healing and more just, local, economies. As with all FS6 cohorts, Cohort 7 was selected for their work across the four FS6 impact pillars of Healthy People, Vibrant Farms, Sustainable Ecosystems, and Justice & Fairness.
Without further ado, here are the companies that make up Cohort 7:
