The Food Literacy Project (FLP) is a brand that was founded in 2006 with the aim of reconnecting young people with the essential elements of life: soil, air, water, sun, and the individuals who work to provide us with food. FLP takes a comprehensive approach, incorporating policy, systems, and environmental change strategies to address the various factors that impact the well-being and success of young people. By promoting healthy behaviors, improving knowledge and skills, and addressing root causes and conditions, FLP strives to build capacity and create a healthier, more equitable community where individuals and places can thrive.

The brand leverages food and sustainable agriculture, youth leadership, cross-sector partnerships, and neighborhood assets to empower young people and advance food security, health, equity, and prosperity. FLP offers a range of programs that provide employment, education, leadership, and career development opportunities for youth, as well as fresh local produce to those in need. Through their initiatives, FLP cultivates a generation of young people who are empowered to shape a healthier future
