Policy

We're a "food policy coalition."  Are you interested to see what policy we've worked on since starting up in 2007?  Here you'll find an easy-to-scan list of the policy results the Coalition has helped accomplish, along with supporting documentation (like downloadable documents and articles) as well as links to narrative sections on the Working Group pages (where applicable) - like you can see below with "Urban Garden District legislation," as an example.

If a topic below interests you, you can also determine which working group it was related to and find additional narrative and documentation of it on the Working Group's page.  (Note: most items below are related to a working group, though perhaps not all.)
