Y.A.M.S - Yielding Access to Market Solutions
Equip Communities Through Data-Driven Insights
Mission Statement
Our mission with the YAMS (Yielding Access to Market Solutions) App, powered by the National Black Food & Justice Alliance, is to equip communities by providing a user-friendly mobile application that captures retail food purchase data. This enables individuals to gain insights into their spending habits and contribute to a broader understanding of food consumption patterns. We seek to amplify Black-led narratives, promote food sovereignty, and foster collaborative efforts to transform our local and national food landscapes.
Vision Statement
We envision a future where Black communities thrive through equitable access to resources, robust food systems, and the ability to govern their own food practices. The YAMS App aims to create a powerful narrative that supports equitable access to resources and robust food systems through data-driven insights about food purchases and decisions.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of the YAMS App is to facilitate the collection and analysis of retail food purchase data, enhancing the visibility of spending patterns within communities. By capturing detailed sales data from various retail outlets, we aim to support initiatives for food justice, inform community-driven policies, and advance the collective goal of food sovereignty.
