Food Policy Council

Engage in local and statewide policies that support just, sustainable food systems.

Catalyzing a shift towards Whole-sum food

The Nevada County Food Policy Council (NCFPC) is a collaboration of 55+ agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals working to ensure that Whole-sum food: (local and community-based, fair, ecologically sound and humane) is available to everyone. The NCFPC recently published a comprehensive assessment on current food system challenges and strengths (left) and a summary of current efforts being made to support more Whole-Sum food (right).
