Promoting a healthy & equitable local food system: The Denver Sustainability Food Policy Council
Our mission at the Denver Sustainability Food Policy Council is to influence the City of Denver to enact policies that foster food security for all community members and promote a healthy, equitable, and sustainable local food system.
Our current working groups are involved in City of Denver policy reforms to expand access to mobile markets, increase food rescue and composting at city facilities, adopt a healthy, local standard for city food purchases, and more. In short, we look at the food system in our area and then make recommendations on how to improve that food system.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend our meetings, learn more about opportunities to get involved, provide input on policy recommendations, and request to serve on policy working groups.
We meet the third Wednesday of every month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., with networking from 11 a.m. to noon, in the second floor conference room of the Posner Center for International Development: 1031 33rd Street, Denver, CO 80205.
