  • values all food system workers and supports their physical, economic, and social wellbeing,
  • contributes to the health and vitality of urban, rural, and Tribal communities,
  • is environmentally regenerative, using resources for production and distribution in a way that protects the environment in trust for future generations, including under changing climate conditions, and
  • is culturally responsive and reflects the ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity of California.

Proposals are requested for three types of projects:
