Flint Food System Leverage Points Project

The Flint Leverage Points Project is a collaboration between researchers and community partners to find ways to change the food system in Flint so that it is more equitable, healthy, and sustainable. The Community Foundation of Greater Flint is partnering with Michigan State University to conduct this research. We are advised by a Community Consultative Panel comprised of representatives from the Flint community who work with food in Flint. We are looking at the whole food system ‒ including production, distribution, preparing, eating, and recycling food ‒ to find improvements that can benefit Flint residents. We will also identify strengths and opportunities within the food system that could be built upon. This project will produce an analysis of how community partners can intervene in the Flint food system to create positive change.
