At the core of our work at the Berkeley Food Institute, we are dedicated to building our vision of a food and farm system rooted in urban and rural agroecology, good food access, fair and healthy jobs, and racial equity. Over the past four years, BFI has addressed pressing issues within the food system through our strategic approach combining research, education, policy, and community engagement to enact change.
