Description: FoodWorks is a comprehensive plan that sets a bold vision for a more sustainable food system--a ground-to-garbage approach unprecedented in the history of our city. The plan provides a blueprint for addressing issues at every phase of the food system-from agricultural production, processing, distribution, consumption and post-consumption. The proposals focus on combating hunger and obesity to preserving regional farming and local food manufacturing to decreasing waste and energy usage. Speaker Quinn outlined 59 policy proposals spanning five phases of the food system. The proposals included new legislation, funding initiatives and far-reaching goals that present a long-term vision for a better food system.
