Boilerplate Language About the Prize
The New England Food Vision Prize from the Henry P. Kendall Foundation is designed to accelerate progress towards the New England Food Vision, a regional goal to produce at least 50% of New England’s own food by 2060, while supporting healthy food for all, sustainable farming and fishing, and creating thriving communities. One high-leverage strategy to accelerate the region towards this goal is to unlock the market power of large food purchasers, like educational institutions and school districts. The Prize is designed to support ideas that result in higher procurement of regional food by institutions, more regional food in school kitchens and student meals, and increased demand for regional food by students and their families.
