Food Policy Council

A Food Policy Council is a group of diverse stakeholders, including government representatives, community members, farmers, and food businesses, who come together to address local food systems and policies. Their goal is to improve access to healthy food, support sustainable agriculture, and enhance food security within a community. They analyze issues related to food production, distribution, and consumption, and recommend strategies to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food while considering environmental and economic impacts. Essentially, they help shape how food is produced, shared, and consumed in a way that benefits the community as a whole.
