Food Policy Council
Upon adoption of the Douglas County Food System Plan in summer 2017, the Food Policy Council established a new set of priorities that target several of the policy action items listed within the plan. (The Plan is organized by Goal --> Objective --> Policy Action Item.) Learn more below and reach out to us if you're interested in engaging with us or have a question!
