Welcome to the SLO County Food System Coalition. We are a community group working to create a sustainable food system that is equitable, profitable, resilient, and health-promoting. We come together to:

• Create a forum that brings people together from all sectors of the food system to generate new relationships and cross learning.
  
• Promote policies and programs that increase food security and social and economic opportunity for food producers, distributors and consumers in San Luis Obispo County.
  
• Support education and programs that encourage San Luis Obispo residents to make choices for a healthy life.
  
• Serve as a resource to the community to assist in solution-oriented local food system development programs and projects. 
  
  

We invite you to participate in our quarterly meetings and work groups or to create your own pathway of engagement. Email slofoodsystem@gmail.com with any questions.

Policy Advocacy:

We are a collaborating member of the CA Food Policy Council, which released its 2016 CA Food & Agriculture Legislation Tracker & Legislator Scorecard highlighting policy wins and losses in areas such as Ecological Farming, Healthy Food Access, Economic Vitality for Local Food and Small Producers, and Food Chain Worker Advancement and illustrating how each CA legislator voted on food and ag policies.
