Food Comida Rawl 317 will assemble a shared vision for nourishing and sustaining our Indianapolis food communities. This project is a connector and a way for everyone to understand the diversity of eaters, and experiences in Indianapolis. Using social science based data collection and analysis, Food 317 will be a hub of information gathering, sharing and engagement for individuals and organizations in our food system. 

The City of Indianapolis has a vision for an inclusive, sustainable food system where more people have access to the healthy food they need to live, work and play to their full potential; where less people are food insecure and able to purchase food they need for their family; and where food businesses can launch and thrive and find the customers and markets essential for success. 

Food 317 is the project that will assemble that vision based on the lived experiences, stories and data gathered from our communities and organizations who serve. It will have a legacy of connecting people from the public, private and nonprofit sectors in a meaningful dialogue for change and sustainability.
