Food Policy Council

Seattle Foundation’s Fund for Inclusive Recovery has granted RBAC the opportunity to convene the first of its kind Food Policy Council.

The current landscape of South King County’s food system is made up of limited infrastructure and networks that do not support local farms to sustain their communities. This situation is exacerbated for Black, Indigenous, immigrant and refugee farmers. Food plans laid out be the City of Seattle and King County fail to center their strategies around BIPOC communities.

In an effort to drive equity and bring in the voices that local food strategies should center, RBAC is allocating $100,000/annually for the next 3 years to resource our council partners for their expertise and seat at the table. This is a space to be held for knowledge, experiences, stories, data, and economic opportunity to uplift each other.
