Welcome
to the Sacramento Region Food System Collaborative, a coalition of public,
private, and nonprofit stakeholders working to inform and influence policy
initiatives relevant to the regional food system in the 6-county Capital
Region. By establishing goals in the following areas: food access, agriculture
sustainability, and education, the Food System Collaborative is working
to integrate a regional food policy that 1) prioritizes the elimination
of health disparities, and 2) ensures sustainable food access to low income
communities in regional and state planning efforts that have the potential
to impact the regional food system. Relevant initiatives and planning efforts
include those focused on:
- food access and food security
- land use planning
- local food purchasing plans
- rural economic development.
