Each program is designed to meet the unique needs of the cohort and the moment. Food System 6 has a diverse roster of mentors, coaches, and peer-leaders that we hand-pick for their perspective and capacity to support each incoming group of innovators. FS6 designs unique and versatile programming that can be focused on accelerating innovation nationally, locally, or across food system themes.
All FS6 programs are designed to build community and to prepare innovators for the complexities of building a business in the 6th food system. We support our innovators in refining business models that build and sustain wealth on the frontlines of our food system; connect them with leadership development resources to create healthy, sustainable, and vibrant food communities; and coach them on the essential business skills - from public speaking to investment due diligence - that they will need to actualize their vision for a just and regenerative food system.
