Made up of public officials from around the country, this network of leaders support each other to implement values-based food purchasing policies in their hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, senior centers and other food program sites. The network has guided, informed and tested the tools and approaches that make up this toolkit. Founded by the ID Food Systems Action Lab, the VBP Learning Network is now hosted by Partners for Public Good.
