Tyson facilitates the Good Food for All Coalition, which unites grassroots and national organizations around a vision for a just, equitable, and sustainable food system. Tyson asked NFCA's member food co-ops to consider: "How well does your Co-op’s Membership, Staff, and Board represent your community’s demographics? What are you doing to increase this representation and participation, and how can you, as an association of Co-ops, use your collective purchasing power and policy advocacy to support racial equity in the food system?”

Designing Community Food Ecosystems from the Ground Up in Raleigh NCErin White
A 6-year retrospective of three collaborative projects by Community Food Lab in Raleigh, NC.

Breaking down walls and building participationNFCACoops
For more than 170 years, food co-ops have worked to achieve the ideals of democracy, empowerment and inclusion—ideals we continue to strive toward today. How can co-ops continue to work to ensure our doors are open to all people, "without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination," in keeping with the 7 Cooperative Principles? This starts by identifying who we’re excluding and then taking action to be more welcoming, recognizing that we are better—and more successful and relevant—when we are more inclusive, when we lift one another up, and when we work together to remove barriers to participation. Join us to explore how the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NCFA) is working with its 35 member food co-ops, startups and partners across New England to address this question through our Food Co-ops & Healthy Food Access work.
During this interactive workshop, IMPACT participants will learn how NCFA’s structure as a federation of food co-ops is supporting innovation and learning among member food co-ops about sourcing, healthy food access, economic inclusion and peer collaboration. Participants will learn techniques and tools to evaluate and improve programs to engage and better serve low-income and marginalized community members and expand co-op membership and participation. You’ll leave with the tools necessary to help differentiate your co-ops in the marketplace and use community feedback to improve your co-op’s image and relevance—particularly among people who don’t see themselves reflected at your store.

INTRODUCTION- Just In case you missed this when i first posted
There is an escalating crisis in food and farming systems. Industrial food production is damaging the environment, degrading natural resources and contributing to soaring levels of diet-related ill health. We urgently need to tackle this issue before the problem becomes even worse. But how do we go about this? And what is preventing society from doing more to change these harmful practices?
Arguably, the biggest barrier to making food and farming more sustainable is the distorted economic system which takes account of the direct costs of production, such as land, feed, seeds, labor and farming equipment, but fails to include the many externalized costs including pollution, biodiversity, social, cultural and welfare impacts. This system results in a situation where food produced intensively appears to be cheaper to consumers and more profitable to producers than food produced in a more sustainable way.
However, the external costs of this system are ultimately paid for by consumers, either individually or as part of society, even though they rarely realize this.
This presentation from the 46th NOFA Summer Conference focuses on how our food co-ops make a priority of supporting local farmers and producers. We build sustainability through long-term relationships, transparency, and our sales channels complimenting direct marketing, offering volume, marketing, and stable, year-round markets. Explore what’s entailed in having your products in co-ops and innovative ways co-ops foster farmer sustainability.

Measuring and Communicating Our Impact for Shared SuccessNFCACoops
To compete effectively, our co-ops need to demonstrate what sets us apart. This presentation from the Consumer Co-op Management Association (CCMA) 2018 Conference in Portland, OR shares strategies from efforts to measure and communicate impact, both at the individual food co-op level and the regional level through a federation of co-ops. Last year, Central Co-op (WA) hired a firm to evaluate how it benefits its community. The resulting Local Impact Study revealed outcomes even greater than expected, enabling the co-op to communicate its impact for its members and the wider community through meetings, public events, publications, and social media. On a regional level, an informal network of food co-ops in New England commissioned a similar study ten years ago as part of its effort to understand their collective impact. This report was a revelation for participating co-ops, demonstrating impact far beyond expectations. This provided a foundation for shared visioning and incorporation as a formal secondary co-op of food co-ops focused on shared marketing and educational initiatives, peer collaboration, and sourcing projects to support mutual success. Today, the Neighboring Food Co-op Association collects impact data on an annual basis, working with interns from a local University to compile data and make the case for the contribution of food co-ops to a more inclusive economy.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Defined Mission & Ends
NOFA Summer Conference 2018
A Co-op is designed to
meet purposes and ends
identified by its Members
— the Users of the
business who are are
transformed through
Membership into its
Owners. The success of
the business depends on
Member patronage —
their purchase of goods
and services.
Co-ops must be profitable
in order to serve their
Members over time.
However, expenses are
better described as value-
added.
The goal of the co-op is
not to maximize profit
for owners or outside
investors, but to achieve
its mission or ends and
operate at cost, with any
surplus (income less
expenses) reinvested to
further advance these
goals or refunded to its
Members.
