Through our communities of practice, the Food Council creates spaces where community partners can connect around shared areas of focus. These Collaboratives are open to the public and bring a grassroots approach to facilitating discussion, resource communication, and best practice sharing to specific areas of our food system. These groups are also important opportunities to identify policy and program challenges and opportunities that will inform our advocacy initiatives.
