Mackenzie Farmer is the Interim Executive Director of FOODiversity. 

Her work is grounded in the belief that food can be a critical part of care and management, particularly through the Food as Medicine framework for people managing chronic conditions. This perspective has shaped her focus on strengthening food access systems that better support long-term health needs, not just short-term food insecurity.

That interest has translated into hands-on experience in nutrition, food access, and supporting individuals with dietary restrictions through community-based programming and partnerships.

Mackenzie earned her Master of Public Health in Nutrition from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she focused on the intersection of nutrition, public health, and equitable food systems.
