The Power of Food: Cultivating equitable policy through collective  action is going virtual!  Same dates, (mostly) same program, and now in  many places. The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF)  is organizing the first-ever national forum for food policy councils  and similar groups from September 20-22, 2021.  We wish to thank Mid-America Regional Council, KC Healthy Kids and the 23-member planning teams for their support in organizing this event.

Our intent for the forum is to:

• Create a space that welcomes a diverse group of participants to learn, share and collaborate
• Provide opportunities for skill-building, sharing resources and networking with other councils
• Identify opportunities for changing food policy at local, state, regional, tribal and federal levels
• Raise awareness about the value of food policy councils
