A tool for identifying where food systems networks need to focus resources in order to more fully advance racial justice, equity, diversity and inclusion throughout network design, leadership, and operations.

From September-December 2021, a multi-racial team of FSLN members co-created an equity audit prototype specific to food systems networks. Our goal was to offer a simple tool for food systems networks to gauge where they need work to advance racial justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in network design, leadership, and operations. As a ‘prototype,’ the audit is meant to evolve as users of the tool provide feedback from their experiences and make it their own.
