FoodIsPower.org -- The Food Empowerment Project

“As a vegetarian and someone who has dedicated my life to causes of justice, I strongly support Food Empowerment Project’s efforts to connect the issues of justice for farm workers, food, and animals, protecting the environment and providing equal access to healthy foods.”

About F.E.P.

The Food Empowerment Project seeks to create a more just and sustainable world by recognizing the power of one's food choices. We encourage healthy food choices that reflect a more compassionate society by spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability of healthy foods in low-income areas.

By making informed choices, we can prevent injustices against animals, people, and the environment. We also work to discourage negligent corporations from pushing unhealthy foods into low-income areas and empower people to make healthier choices by growing their own fruits and vegetables. In all of our work, the Food Empowerment Project seeks specifically to empower those with the fewest resources.

The Food Empowerment Project is a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) and was founded in 2006 by lauren Ornelas. To learn more about the organization's leadership team, please go here.
