Food and Nutrition

System Issue

Disinvestment in neighborhood resources, globalization of food chains, and inadequate wages have left people unable to afford fresh foods.

Committee Vision

We envision a system where farm and food businesses balance the wellbeing of employees, community, and environment; all people in Kent County are food secure with access to culturally appropriate, local foods.

Meetings

We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 8:30-10:00 am. Our meetings are open to anyone who wants to participate.

Action Teams

Members of this Committee are invited to join an Action Team that focuses on furthering our work between Committee meetings.
