Johanna Divine, Director/Producer

Johanna Divine is the director of Flagstaff Foodlink, Inc., a grassroots non-profit organization connecting people with healthy, regional food. In 2004, she was awarded a Food and Society Policy Fellowship, supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, to continue her community food and media work. Divine is committed to doing more than creating access to fresh, regional foods. She also shares her passion for sustainable agriculture and food security with area youth, serving as the founder and director of Flagstaff Youth Gardens, a summer employment program for local high school students. Divine also put her expertise to work helping develop the Flagstaff Community Farmers' Market and C.A.K.E. — a shared-use community kitchen and business incubator serving Flagstaff's low-income Southside neighborhood. Johanna is a member of the Multinational Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture Advisory Council, Northern Arizona Food Policy Council, and Flagstaff Unified School District Health and Wellness Steering Committee. She is currently working with local teachers, students, and farmers to develop a healthy school food pilot program funded by the Arizona Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Flagstaff High School. Before settling in Arizona, she worked on organic farms from Florida to Alaska.
