Sustainable Food Systems

A healthy, sustainable food system is one that focuses on  Environmental Health, Economic Vitality, and Human Health & Social Equity.

• Environmental Health – ensures that food production and procurement do not compromise the land, air, or water now or for future generations.
• Economic Vitality – ensures that the people who are producing our food are able to earn a decent living wage doing so. This ensures that producers can continue to produce our food.
• Human Health & Social Equity – ensures that particular importance is placed on community development and the health of the community, making sure that healthy foods are available economically and physically to the community and that people are able to access these foods in a dignified manner.
