The Foundation for Fresh Produce's vision is to grow a healthier world by changing the trajectory of human health. The produce industry has the potential to provide solutions for many of the world’s greatest health and economic challenges – especially those surrounding nutrition and hunger.
The Foundation focuses on improving the appeal of fruit and vegetables as an integral part of people’s diets, supporting the development of infrastructure and supply chain solutions that provide easier access, and establishing strategic alliances that enable children and families to form healthier eating habits.
To advance our goal of increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, the Foundation for Fresh Produce partners with produce industry trailblazers as well as private and public health and policy leaders around the world. We believe fruits and vegetables are the answer to changing the trajectory of human health.
As the only 501c(3) working on behalf of the produce industry with assets like the Have A Plant® campaign and www.fruitsandveggies.org, we are dedicated to inspiring consumers to live happier, healthier lives by eating more fruits and vegetables every single day.
