The Los Angeles Food Policy Council is a collaborative network working to make #GoodFood-healthy, affordable, fair and sustainable- available to all Angelenos.
This isn't right! Food is not just a necessity to be met. It's a human right!
Our Executive Director, Alba Velasquez, recently presented at SAM Initiative. She highlighted how nutrition incentive programs, such as LAFPC's Farm Fresh LA, are working to address this issue.
LAFPC's Cultivating Farms & Farmers (CF&F) program will seek to address the major challenges faced by BIPOC and beginning farmers and ranchers in the Los Angeles region. The Cultivating Farm & Farmers program will uniquely aim to support urban BIPOC farmers.
