Allen founded Growing Power in 1993. Its mission is to transform communities by supporting people from diverse backgrounds and the environments in which they live through the development of community food systems. These systems provide high-quality, safe, healthy and affordable food for all residents in the community through training, active demonstration, outreach and technical assistance. Allen and Growing Power has been recognized by First Lady Michelle Obama and Time Magazine, which in 2010 named Allen to the Time 100 World’s Most Influential People. (Photo by Yvonne Kemp)
