What is the Changemakers Network?  Movement toward a sustainable food system is underway. Many individuals, organizations, businesses, and agencies are already working to change the current system.
The Changemakers Network is a statewide coalition that combines all these individual efforts into a common framework in order to maximize impacts that will spur system-wide change. Everyone in the food system is welcome to join the Changemakers Network. Whether you’re a business owner, the head of a school nutrition program, a dairy operator, or an enthusiastic eater – your leadership is needed to create a sustainable food system for California in one generation.

ROC Fellows |

Who are the Roots of Change Fellows?
The ROC Fellows are a diverse group of CA food system leaders working together to develop strategies to create a sustainable food system for CA by 2030. Each class of ROC fellows is selected to reflect a level of diversity and experience representative of the current CA food system. The fellows are chosen based on a wide variety of considerations including: their role in food system, leadership experience, project/business experience, connections to extended CA networks, and diversity of age, race, and geographic location to reflect the state’s overall diversity.
This year ROC decided to focus the Fellowship in Fresno area. Fresno is the leading agricultural county in the United States. At the same time the area experiences some of the highest rates of hunger and obesity in the state. This year's class of Fellows will focus on finding common solutions to this region's challenges.

In the second year of the Fellows program, the ROC Stewardship Council selected 24 Fellows (out of 71 applicants) for their demonstrated ability to strengthen four Workgroups identified as essential to successful implementation of California’s Campaign. During the period of the Fellowship, each Workgroup was to develop a project plan for the period 2009-2012, for implementation with their Workgroup members. The four Workgroups focused on the following goals: Labor, Regional Food Systems, Healthy Food Access and Outreach to Conventional Agriculture.
