Food Producer Network
WCK’s Food Producer Network supported food-producing businesses and communities impacted by climate change by building resilient local food systems and strengthening food security throughout disaster prone regions.

Launched after Hurricane María in 2017, WCK’s Food Producer Network (FPN) helped smallholder farmers, fishers, and small food-related businesses revitalize their operations and begin to regrow their long-term capacity for food production, distribution, and sales. Through its three pillars—grants and loans, capacity building and networking, and volunteering and agritourism—FPN contributed to system-wide improvements in food and nutrition security and sustainability by growing the capacity of local communities to produce their own food. In doing so, we increased their resilience against future disasters.
