SPECIAL EVENTS 103831 103831 103831 103831 NRG CHAIRMAN OPERATIONS X 612839 207839 0 1 1 207839 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE ARCADIA CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IS DEDICATED TO CULTIVATING VIBRANT LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS THAT PRIORITIZE HEALTH, EQUITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY, FROM THE FARM FORWARD. ARCADIA IS ON A MISSION TO ENSURE EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE, NOURISHING FOOD, THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HUMAN HEALTH, AND THAT FOOD IS GROWN IN A WAY THAT NOURISHES THE SOIL, AND IS GOOD FOR THE HUMANS, WATER, AND WILD SPACES, AS WELL AS THE ANIMALS, INSECTS, AND PLANTS THAT LIVE THERE. ARCADIA'S THOUGHTFULLY CONSTRUCTED NETWORK OF PROGRAMS INCREASES THE SUPPLY OF LOCALLY AND SUSTAINABLY GROWN FRESH FOODS; TRAINS MILITARY VETERANS TO BE FARMERS; SHARES LAND WITH NEIGHBORS TO GROW THEIR OWN FOOD AND BUILD THEIR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY; STOKES DEMAND FOR NUTRITIOUS FOOD THROUGH ON-FARM AND IN-SCHOOL EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS; AND CREATES ACCESS TO FRESH FOODS, AT AFFORDABLE PRICES, AT CONVENIENT LOCATIONS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT TRADITIONAL HEALTHY FOOD RETAILERS DO NOT SERVE. ARCADIA THEORY OF CHANGE ARCADIA TAKES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO REFORMING A FUNDAMENTALLY UNHEALTHY AND UNJUST FOOD SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE NOT JUST PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS BUT ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS AS WELL. WE SEEK TO FILL THE GAPS AND ADDRESS ROOT CAUSES. OUR WORK REPAIRS THE FRAYED LINKS BETWEEN THE URBAN AND RURAL AREAS TO THE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH BENEFIT OF BOTH. OUR INTERLOCKING PROGRAMS ACHIEVE STRONG RESULTS INDIVIDUALLY BUT MAXIMIZE THEIR IMPACT WHEN COMBINED. FOR INSTANCE, RATHER THAN JUST DISTRIBUTE FREE FOOD, WE EXPAND THE SUPPLY OF WHOLESOME FOOD AND THE NUMBER OF FARMERS WHO GROW IT. WE MAKE NOURISHING FOOD MORE AFFORDABLE AND MORE CONVENIENT IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT OTHERWISE LACK ACCESS VIA OUR MOBILE MARKETS. WE BUILD APPETITES FOR HEALTHY FOOD AMONG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO MAY NOT HAVE YET DEVELOPED AN AFFINITY. WHILE WE ARE NOT AN ANTI-HUNGER ORGANIZATION, IF WE DO OUR WORK WELL THERE WILL BE FEWER HUNGRY PEOPLE. WE WORK HARD TO ANTICIPATE AND AVOID UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. FOR EXAMPLE, INTRODUCING CHILDREN TO HEALTHY FOOD VIA SCHOOL GARDENS IS A LAUDABLE EFFORT WITH A PROVEN IMPACT ON THEIR WILLINGNESS TO CONSUME FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE A LASTING IMPACT IF THEIR FAMILIES CAN'T OBTAIN, AFFORD, OR PREPARE THE VEGETABLES AT HOME. BUILDING DEMAND AMONG LOW-INCOME FAMILIES FOR HEALTHY FOOD DOES LITTLE IF THERE IS NOT ALSO A STEADY AND GROWING SUPPLY OF SUSTAINABLY GROWN, AFFORDABLE, WHOLESOME FOOD PRODUCED ON LOCAL FARMS BY AN INCREASING NUMBER OF SKILLED FARMERS. WE GROW FOOD AND FARMERS TO MEET THE DEMAND. WE GROW THE DEMAND THROUGH OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS. WE SATISFY AND FURTHER STOKE DEMAND THROUGH OUR MOBILE MARKETS, WHICH IN TURN TRIGGERS THE PRODUCTION OF MORE FOOD, AND THE TRAINING OF MORE FARMERS, CREATING A STRONGER LOCAL AND REGIONAL FOOD ECONOMY FOR EVERYONE. OUR COMMITMENT TO REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES UNDERLIES ALL THIS WORK.
