Fresh Solutions Network

Funding, resources, and partners for organizations building local food projects.

For 10 years, Growcer has worked with food banks, schools, Indigenous communities, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and institutions to improve access to fresh, locally grown food. Today, they support over 1,000 farms across 30+ countries.

Projects vary, from remote food access to stronger supply chains, education, jobs, and food security, but they all start with an idea and a champion.

The Fresh Solutions Network brings these organizations together, a community with the funding, resources, and connections to make it happen.

If that sounds like you, you belong here.
