East End Food Institute (EEFI)  is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding equitable access to local food throughout eastern Long Island, New York, and to points west. The pandemic highlighted many critical supply chain issues, including the need to strengthen local and regional food production and distribution, as well as the importance of providing healthy, locally-grown food to people in need.

EEFI programs support, promote and advocate for local farmers, fisherman, vintners and food producers, while providing access to fresh, sustainable local food for all. The organization also addresses current inequalities related to food access in schools, food pantries, and other institutions by advocating for public policy changes and funding to subsidize local food production and access.

Eastern Long Island is home to some of the most productive agricultural soils in the nation. EEFI streamlines connections between farmers, producers, institutions, and consumers. Programs support farmers, promote the launch of new businesses, and advocate for systems change to create a more sustainable and equitable regional food system.
