Right To Food’s Good Food Principles
Our work is guided by a set of principles that put dignity, equity, and community at the centre of everything we do, from providing nourishing meals to addressing the root causes of food insecurity.
When organizations apply to the Good Food Organization program, they are asked to reflect on their alignment with the Good Food Principles. The Good Food Principles are meant to be read and understood as a set of commitments that organizations are working towards.
1. Take action from the individual to the systemic level.
We work to create many entry points for community members: from meeting basic needs to empowering people to choose, grow, and cook good food, to creating opportunities to get involved with the big-picture issues that affect our community.
2. Invest in the power of good food.
We strive to make good food a priority and to provide food through our programs that is delicious, healthy, sustainably produced, and pleasurable to eat.
3. Create an environment of respect and community leadership.
We provide opportunities for community members to use their strengths and contribute as volunteers and leaders.
4. Meet people where they’re at.
We avoid making assumptions about community members’ skills and goals. And we work with them toward the changes that they want to make, focusing on celebrating achievements big and small along the way.
5. Aim high for our organization and our community.
Our programs are designed based on current research and the growing body of knowledge from the community food sector. And we make sure that our partners have enough resources to create a positive impact. To stay accountable to our community, we are committed to measuring and communicating the impact of our work.
