There are many ways to get involved with the Food Policy Council!
Become a Council Member
We are not currently accepting applications for Food Policy Council members. Council members are volunteers and must attend 4 FPC meetings a year. People with experience in the food system (farmers, processors, retail) and those with interests in food issues (consumer concerns, food access, nutritional issues, etc) should apply. Application are accepted twice a year.
Upcoming deadlines:
September 6th, 2013
Become a Sub-Committee or Non-Voting Member
Too busy to join the Council? You can still help support the FPC. Sub-committee members assist the FPC on a project basis. Non-voting members have the opportunity to provide input on issues put before the FPC before they go to a vote. Join our mailing list in order to keep up on subcommittee and non-voting member proprieties.
Join the FPC general interest e-mail list by sending an email to: smulligan@city-buffalo.com
Support the Food Policy Council Through a Local Food Systems Advocate Organization
The Food Policy Council helps to bring together food systems work happening across different sectors and organizations. Getting involved with a local group that advocates on behalf of food access and justice also helps support the FPC’s goal of improving the local food system.
