We are working to restore and sustain the delicate balance between people and the planet by inspiring the community to think more deeply about where food comes from, how it’s grown, and why it matters.
We collaborate with farmers, businesses, and community partners to create a resilient regional food network: supporting responsible farming practices, increase access to fresh, nutritious food, and inspiring a deeper understanding of how food impacts health, the environment, and local economies.
Whether you’re a curious neighbor, a passionate advocate, a dedicated philanthropist, or a socially responsible business, we’re grateful you’re here. Together, we can cultivate a healthier, more sustainable future.

We are dedicated to unearthing the power of food to build healthy communities.
Through innovative programs, we support responsible farming practices, increase access to fresh, nutritious food, and inspire a deeper understanding of how food impacts health, the environment, and local economies.
4Roots collaborates with farmers, businesses, and community partners to create a resilient regional food network.
These initiatives aggregate fresh produce purchases to support responsible growers, improve food access for families and institutions, provide hands-on agricultural education, and explore the link between nutrition and well-being. By engaging the community in these efforts, 4Roots is building a sustainable food future that is rooted in health, equity, and environmental stewardship.
A broken food system that is not nourishing people or our planet.
Too many hungry children. One in five students in OCPS don’t know where their next meal will come from.
Too many diet-related illnesses. For the first time, our children will have a shorter lifespan due in part to illnesses like diabetes and heart disease.
Too many chemicals. 98% of the farms in the United States are chemical dependent. 0.1% of pesticides reach pests, the rest pollutes our ecosystem.
Too much food waste. Despite 41 million Americans lacking consistent access to food, 30% of the US food supply goes to waste every year.
A healthy, sustainable regional food system
Children nourished by food grown locally. An end to childhood food insecurity in Central Florida, with kids connected to fresh local produce.
Farmers thriving in harmony with nature. Local farmers making an honest living doing what they do best, growing food and being good land stewards.
Food that is valued, not wasted. A community that knows where their food comes from, choosing food that is local and seasonal.
Our local economy prospering. Our community supporting local food businesses – from growing to distributing to preparing and serving.
Create a community crossroads for education, innovation and action
Farmers learning new techniques. Local farmers and agriculture students experiment with leading-edge technologies in a risk-free environment.
