Renewing America’s Food Traditions
Managed by Slow Food USA, RAFT is an alliance of food, farming, environmental and culinary advocates who have joined together to identify, restore and celebrate America’s biologically and culturally diverse food traditions through conservation, education, promotion and regional networking.
Founded in 2004, the RAFT Alliance brings food producers, chefs and consumers together to develop and promote conservation strategies, sustainable food production, and awareness of our country's unique and "at risk" foods and food traditions.
We aim to promote and ensure that the diverse foods and traditions unique to North America reaches our tables by means that make our families and communities healthier and our food system more diverse: ecologically, culturally and structurally. We focus on clusters of foods at risk that we feel we have a capacity to recover, using models of discovery, recovery and sustainability that may inspire others to do similar work.
Learn more about our current initiatives and join us in restoring and celebrating America’s diverse foods and food traditions!
The RAFT Alliance is generously supported by the Cedar Tree Foundation, Lillian Goldman Charitable Trust, and the Ceres Foundation, with start up resources from the CS Fund.
