  • Local Food Action Plan - 1 - 2018 Annual Report If You Eat Food, the Health of Our Local Food System Matters
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 2019 Local Food Action Plan - 1 - 2018 Annual Report If you eat food, the health of our local food system matters. If you eat food, the health of our local food system matters—from how food is grown and gets to our tables, to what happens to the food we throw away. A weak local food system can prevent residents from accessing healthy and affordable food, lead to unnecessary food-related waste and make it hard for small food businesses to succeed. But a strong and resilient local food system can help support the health of our residents, feed our hungry neighbors, strengthen our local economy and protect the natural resources that make our community a great place to live, work and play. The City of Columbus and Franklin County believe in the power of a thriving local food system. That’s why since 2016, the City and County have committed resources to implementing the Local Food Action Plan to make our local food system better for everyone. The Local Food Action Plan is the result of a community planning effort to create a stronger, more sustainable local food system for the City of Columbus and Franklin County. Under the leadership of Columbus City Council Member Priscilla R. Tyson and Franklin County Commissioner John O’Grady—and with the program and project support of City and County staff and the Local Food Board—our vision is a fair and sustainable food system that benefits our economy, our environment and all people. Fresh produce at Jubilee Market in Franklinton Greater South East Community Garden at Gethsamane Local Food Action Plan - 2 - 2018 Annual Report Learning tour at Franklinton Farms Local Food Action Plan Goals: A: Enhance coordination and communication among existing food resources and agencies.
