Food Security & Nutrition
Throughout the country there
is a growing recognition that strengthening local food systems
advances multiple social, economic and environmental goals
simultaneously — from improving public health and food security,
to stimulating economic development, creating local ‘green
jobs’, and enhancing the sustainability of the food system. In
response to this growing interest, municipalities across the
country are beginning to assess the state of their local food
systems and introduce supportive food policies and programs.
Salt Lake City is committed
to fostering the development of a vibrant, sustainable and
equitable local food system capable of providing healthy food to
all City residents. To help achieve this broad and ambitious
goal, the City has introduced a number of food policies and
initiatives.
