Roots of Change (ROC) is a think and do tank catalyzing farm and food policy development in California. ROC is the strategic advisor to the California Food Policy Council, composed of 27 local councils, and over twenty nonprofits working for policy change. ROC acts as the backbone organization producing the annual “California Food and Agriculture Legislation Tracker” and “Legislators Scorecard,” which critique and grade the Legislature and Governor on their response to food movement policy initiatives. ROC has sponsored two successful bills to improve the food system in the state and led the campaign for $5 million in state funding for nutrition incentives. ROC continues to co-lead the campaign to pass a statewide tax on sweetened beverages that will provide hundreds of millions in annual funding for community food projects, nutrition incentives and improvements to school meals.
