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.
