Description
The New England Food Vision Prize Program, launched by the Henry P. Kendall Foundation, supports innovative, collaborative projects that increase the amount of local and regional food prepared and served at New England’s educational institutions—including colleges, universities, and K-12 public school districts. The program aims to strengthen the region’s food system by building resilience, relationships, and capacity within the institutional food supply chain. Projects should result in measurable increases in the sourcing, serving, or use of local and regional food, and must directly benefit at least one New England educational institution.
