Who are we?
Breland Draper, Northwest Regional Field Organizer
Based in Boise, Breland spent his youth the agricultural rich Snake River plain in the southern part of Idaho. Breland's interest in food mostly centers on food security and food justice, and he has a passion to connect local food producers with consumers. While organizing for the Real Food Challenge, Breland is also working on several food security studies and projects, and is also finishing his Masters in Community and Regional Planning from Boise State University. Breland lives in an extremely small cottage in Boise's North End with his wife Cassandra and their two dogs Layla and Lakota.

Emma Brewster, Northwest Regional Coordinator
Now based in Seattle, Emma is originally a small town in NH. Emma came to the Real Food Challenge through an interest in the intersection of cuisine and food culture; community development; international trade policy, and public health. Because of its necessity and centrality, Emma believes that food and the food system – though challenging – offer unparalleled opportunity to positively impact communities by strengthening relationships, and improving human and environmental health. When she's not musing about the food system, Emma enjoys doddling in junk stores, stompin' to bluegrass music, willing tomatoes to grow in Seattle's climate, and sampling the house specials at rural roadside eateries.

David Schwartz, National Campaign Director
Based in RFC's national offices in Boston, David will be joining us in Spokane for the training. David came to the world of food justice and sustainable agriculture in high school through his work at The Food Project. In college he helped start a student garden, a multi-farm CSA distribution scheme based on campus, and a campaign to redirect over $1 million of school food dollars to "real food." David has been awarded an Echoing Green Fellowship for his work and was featured on VH1's Do Something Awards.
