Urban Agriculture and Community Food Systems

Community Food Systems (CFS) encompass the production, processing, transportation, distribution, purchase, waste, and consumption of food at the community level. They dynamically include both small and large producers, local and regional markets, and are typically structured and regulated by local policies driven by the needs and preferences of community members. Fundamentally, CFS strive to be environmentally and economically sustainable, socially just, and provide healthful foods for all residents. Click here to learn more about us.
