关于我们

The Los Angeles Food Policy Council is a collective impact initiative working to make food healthy, affordable, fair and sustainable. We bring together leaders and experts from across sectors, geographies, and socio-economic communities to strengthen connections throughout the food system, and to facilitate and coordinate systemic change. Through policy creation and cooperative relationships, our goals are to reduce hunger, improve public health, increase equity in our communities, create good jobs, stimulate local economic activity, and foster environmental stewardship. In particular, the LAFPC aims to connect environmental sustainability and local agriculture with efforts to expand access to healthy food in underserved communities.

Win: Farms Together Funding Restored (Source: After a two-week freeze, funding for Farms Together—which connects small farmers with food-insecure communities—was reinstated. While this is a victory, future funding remains uncertain. ?? CUT: $1B+ in Local Food Funding Eliminated USDA terminated key programs that schools and food banks rely on to buy fresh food from small, local farms: ? $660M cut from Local Food for Schools (LFS) – Schools, including LAUSD, lose farm-to-school funding. ? $500M cut from Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) – Food banks lose resources to purchase from local farmers. These programs will end within 60 days, disrupting supply chains and harming food access. ?? AT RISK: SNAP & Medicaid Cuts Could Worsen Food Insecurity Congress is considering deep cuts that would slash food benefits for low-income families and reduce Medicaid access for farmworkers and food system workers.
