By combining the diverse talents of the Food and Society Fellows with communications and policy resources, IATP is ensuring food systems that are healthier, fairer, and more affordable.

Grantee Profile

In recent years the Trustees of the Woodcock Foundation have grown increasingly concerned about the state of our food and agricultural systems, both at home and abroad. In response to the disquieting trends of genetic modification of plants and animals, a lack of nutritional transparency, environmentally unsound agriculture, and increasingly unhealthful diets, the Foundation is beginning to make grants to bring the concept of sustainability to the forefront of the debate.

About Our Grants

The Foundation’s 2008 two-year grant of $150,000 to the IATPwill assist the group's efforts to inform and shape a public agenda focused on creating sustainable food systems, and is specifically directed to the Food and Society Fellows Program. This program identifies leaders in food and agriculture from across the United States and Canada to enhance their communication skills and make an outsized impact on local, regional, and national policy.
