Sectors
Six areas. Most real problems sit across two or three of them, which is why we work across all six.
“What exists today” lists only work described on the work page, at the status given there. No organization is named.
City departments, state offices and public authorities.
The plan a department can put its name to, and the partners outside government it needs to deliver it.
A strategy on turning city waste into value, drafted and not presented to the City. Work on getting small local suppliers into public and institutional purchasing, in development.
Hospitals and health systems, universities, large employers, and regional and national funders.
Work on both ends at once: what the institution needs to see, and what a small supplier or a community group needs to meet it.
The anchor procurement work, in development. A food-and-health pathway at concept stage, with no clinical partner committed.
Growers and operators, food-access organizations, institutional buyers, and the public offices that fund and regulate them.
One case for food as an economy (production, purchasing, access, jobs and waste) instead of five separate problems.
A food-economy framework in development. Indoor growing sites assessed, none operating. A food-and-health pathway at concept stage.
Arts nonprofits, venues, restaurants and hotels, and the sponsors around them.
The sponsorship and programming case, the workforce side of hospitality, and the day-to-day materials a venue runs on.
Hospitality workforce talks with employers, early. No program is running.
Companies that want their community spending to produce something that lasts.
A program with named partners and measured outcomes, instead of a one-off donation.
The hospitality workforce talks. Nothing contracted with a corporate partner yet.
Owners, from not-yet-open to established, and the programs that support them.
The parts of a business that make it run when the owner is not in the room: process, numbers, tools, and a website where there is none.
A questionnaire that ranks an owner's repeated work before the first call. A set of small writing tools on one platform, internal and not yet sold.

Most of ours do. A few sentences is enough to start.
