Kathy
ensures that members of the FOCUS team have the tools, support and big-picture
perspective they need. In her work with FOCUS, Kathy strives to shift people�s
perception of school food toward a nuanced understanding of our food systems,
which will then allow them to more effectively work for change. Previously,
Kathy worked for nearly 20 years in sustainable agriculture, local food systems
development, and non-profit management, serving as the Executive Director of
the National Campaign for Sustainable Agriculture and directing Just Food, the
New York City-based non-profit organization that she founded in 1995. Her
achievements at Just Food include initiating the Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) in NYC program and The City Farms, an urban agriculture and
food access program. While developing the foundation for Just Food, Kathy
coordinated public information, outreach and education for both the New York
and Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Groups (NYSAWG and NESAWG) and
gathered considerable experience in citizen advocacy at the United Nations on
sustainable agriculture and food security issues
