Nicole Negowetti

For 15 years, she’s worked at the intersections of policy, education, community organizing, and ecological justice, designing initiatives that center regeneration and nourishment. She is the founder of Food for Us, a growing movement for food democracy rooted in care and connection, and the author of the forthcoming book, Feeding the Future: Restoring the Planet & Healing Ourselves (January 2026).

Nicole has taught food law and policy at Harvard and Tufts, co-founded the Northwest Indiana Food Council, and launched the Plant Based Foods Institute’s Sustainable Sourcing Initiative, building cross-sector coalitions of farmers, food companies, local leaders, and citizens.

She’s also a mom of two young boys, an ultrarunner, and a lifelong learner who feels most alive in the forest or at the fire.
