Building partnerships and markets to drive more local food production and reduce barriers to access good food for every individual, while working for a more self-sufficient and resilient food system. 

Ensuring the USVI has self-determination of food choices at home, in school, and in stores, instead of allowing global supply chains to decide what Virgin Islanders can buy and cook to eat.

Food is affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate and supports physical, economic and community health; regenerates, and respects natural resources and animals; and ensures that all people involved in the value chain live with dignity and freedom from oppression and exploitation.

Promoting the restoration and conservation of USVI’s soil, air, and water, and encouraging agro-ecological farming practices that secure a healthy environment for future generations to enjoy and thrive.
