We welcome your support of the North American Food Systems Network, a professional association of people working together to strengthen local and regional food systems. We serve students, practitioners, consultants, educators and researchers, and others who are working toward a future of vibrant farm and food communities.

- Finding Your Future in Food Systems webinars
- Monthly Seasonal Sips & Job Tips informal conversations with emerging and transitional professionals looking for a job in food systems
- NAFSN Book Club
- NAFSN Jobs Portal, a curated, constantly updated listing of jobs across the U.S. and Canada
- Sustainable Food Systems Sourcebook
- CARAT, the Community & Agriculture Resilience Audit Tool
- ACRE, AgriCluster Resilience and Expansion—a strategic planning process for value chains
- Leadership opportunities through our circles—the groups of members that take on specific NAFSN projects
Launched in 2015, NAFSN is a grassroots network of practitioners and allied scholars, students, and researchers. Members volunteer their time to make these activities happen.
We're lean and nimble, but even so, we need support to keep our websites working, offer webinars, etc.
If you'd like to become a member of NAFSN, we welcome you; memberships are US$60-US$90 depending on your resources. (We even offer a free membership to those doing the work but who are very under-resourced themselves.)
But if you prefer not to join (or are already a member and would like to make an extra contribution), please consider donating via this site!
We also suggest a $50 contribution from organizations whose job postings we share on the NAFSN Jobs Portal.
