Food Policy Councils (FPC) can be in many forms, such as a community-led group or as part of the municipal government, but are all groups of people working together to invest in the local food system.
FPC’s bring together a wide range of food actors and food interests across sectors and from all touch points of the food system, from producers to eaters, to food distributors and food recovery programs. FPC’s connect the diverse perspectives, needs, and realities of the community, and across the food system, around greater objectives to invest in the needs and the shared vision of community members - for food systems that benefit the entire community.
In general FPC’s can contribute to community food systems in ways such as, enabling communities to influence food policy, advocating for community food needs, or supporting the development of food programming or food infrastructure. FPC’s often share similar objectives of supporting and evolving local food systems such as food system sustainability, food security, and food sovereignty.
