The People’s Food Policy Project reflects growing concerns about the health and sustainability of our food system, and an ever more visible movement to create the elements of a different system based in a robust local food economy. You can see it in farmers’ markets, community kitchens, community gardens, and community programs to ensure everyone has food. It’s out there in Eat Local campaigns and food policy councils and food charter initiatives in cities and towns across the country. It can also be seen in struggles to protect heritage seeds, and endangered lands, waterways, and species from salmon to caribou. Now is the moment to pull all these elements together to create a culture, an environment and a policy context for a just and sustainable food system.
