The Values-Based Food Procurement Learning Network will support peer learning and knowledge exchange between local government officials with the goal of promoting and expanding values-based local food procurement commitments and implementation by government officials. The Network will also aim to:

• Support government officials in their local, state and national policy efforts to develop legislation.

• Increase visibility and momentum for values-based food procurement programs through a coordinated marketing and media campaign.

• Update and revise existing informational resources on the implementation of good food procurement practices

• Develop networking opportunities and knowledge exchange among good food institutional procurement leaders

We aim to research, design and prototype the network extensively before taking on the responsibility of identifying the host organization to run the network.
