Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative (MFSI)-Okmulgee, OK
Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative (MFSI) works to enable the Mvskoke people and their neighbors to provide for their food and health needs now and in the future through sustainable agriculture, economic development, community involvement, cultural and educational programs.
As a Communities Creating Healthy Environments grantee, MFSI aims to: collect and compile local data as the basis of a policy campaign for food and fitness advocacy, create a Mvskoke Food and Fitness policy logic model and action plan, further model policy development for the Muscogee Creek National Council to increase funding for physical fitness and access to healthy foods in the Muscogee Creek National boundary by September 2013, host an annual Food and Fitness Forum to support policy development and citizen engagement, and develop a procurement policy allowing purchase of locally produced food by tribal food services such as elderly nutrition and Head Start.
