Good food for everyone - because better food builds a better city!
The New Haven Food Policy Council is a volunteer advisory board for the City of New Haven. Our 11 Council members are New Haven residents, appointed by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. We are a collaborative group working to address local and regional food issues and the impacts on individuals, communities, businesses, the environment and local government.
We improve our Food System by
・Building coalitions and fostering cooperation between community groups, residents, and city offices.
・Developing strategies to effectively addresses food access, hunger, obesity, community development, economic development, urban agriculture, food waste, and nutrition and food education.
・Compiling information to educate residents and community leaders.
・Advocating for policy that improves the nutritional, environmental, economic, and social health of the City.
The New Haven Food Policy Council meets on the third Wednesday of every month from 8:00-10:00 a.m. at City Hall Room 1. Please join us!
To build a food system that nourishes all people in a just and sustainable manner.
