VISION

We envision a county in which everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food and where the food system, from seed to table and back to soil, is environmentally regenerative, economically viable, and supports a healthy life for all members of our community.

THEREFORE, WE BELIEVE:

1. Agriculture -friendly programs and policies should be supported and enhanced.
2. Efforts to develop a diverse and sustainable food economy, and to promote food systems as an economic engine, should be supported.
3. Awareness about local, healthy foods should be fostered in schools and offering, and learning opportunities offered in the public and private sector, and to elected representatives and public officials
4. Policies and programs that ensure health and sustainability in the food system should be advocated for.
5. Policies and programs that ensure equitable access to complete food environment should be advocated for
6. Policies and programs that ensure healthy food is available, accessible, affordable, and acceptable for all communities should be advocated for.

We, the undersigned, support the vision and principles of the Buffalo and Erie County Local Food Action Plan.
