As one of the founding organizations in the Federal Good Food Purchasing Coalition, the Center engages in federal efforts to strengthen values-aligned procurement including defining strategic purchasing goals with Federal institutions, promoting the implementation of data and transparency from Department of Defense, and exploring opportunities for the USDA to support institutional purchasing values through commodity purchasing and programs such as Local Food for Schools.

Individuals can help promote policy that makes purchasing more just, healthy, and sustainable by joining coordinated efforts through the Federal Good Food Purchasing Coalition. Organizations interested in becoming part of the coalition are encouraged to contact the Federal Good Food Purchasing Coalition.
