Policy and Advocacy
This guide describes the issues facing the Jefferson County Food Policy Council members. We collected these issues through over 100 meetings and interviews. This guide serves as our policy platform, so we use these issues to guide the actions we take to advocate for a more equitable and sustainable food system.
Food Chain Assessment
The Food Chain Assessment is a community-led look at how food moves through Jefferson County: from farms to distribution points to families. It highlights what’s working, what’s missing, and offers ideas for how we can work together to build a stronger, more equitable local food system. The assessment and results belong to the community and can be used by anyone to take action.

This workbook guides you through developing a policy advocacy campaign to create systemic changes in your community. We use this guide to build campaigns through our Advocacy Teams.
