the industry to be a part of
the momentum

more than the sum of our parts

What is the Answer?
Introduce a Climate Friendly Foods Movement for
the natural and organic industry. The cornerstone is
a program to help companies in our industry gain clarity
on meaningful steps they can take to address climate change
while working collaboratively to achieve great things. OSC2,
Happy Family Foods, and New Hope, UNFI, Target, NCGA,
SFTA have taken the first step together on behalf of the
industry to develop this program.
