Food Day is a grassroots campaign to promote healthy, affordable, sustainable food and push for improved food policies. This nationwide celebration was initiated by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in 2011.
This year, FLIPANY is partnering with a diverse coalition of food movement leaders and organizations including student leaders, public offices, school districts, and local organizers to give children, parents, and teachers the opportunity to try wholesome foods that taste good.
