The
FOOD Museum is seeking to network with
other non-profit organizations that share
or complement our mission and concerns.
By
networking, we mean sharing information,
news, contacts, and association meetings.
We hope to develop joint advocacy and
outreach efforts, and share fund raising
ventures.
The
mission: The FOOD Museum examines what
we eat and how we eat it, where it came
from, how it has evolved, what its impact
is on the world, and what its future may
be. It researches, collects, preserves,
exhibits and explains the history and
social significance of the world's foods.
The museum brings artifacts and programs
to where people gather, both in person
and on-line. In addition, The FOOD Museum
promotes the preservation of other food-related
museums and historic sites and assists
the public in examining today's critical
food-related issues.
The
issues: food safety; school lunch reform;
food banks; the U.S. obesity crisis; family
farms & farmland protection; sustainable
agriculture, seed preservation, and world
hunger, among others.
