Posted by admin | Posted in Food Policy Council | Posted on 06-09-2011
Greetings from Greater Birmingham Community Food Partners!
We are happy to announce that we are seeking applicants for the new Birmingham-Jefferson Food Policy Council.
The Council will be established to help improve our local food system in Jefferson County. The Council will be a private-public partnership tasked to examine the local food system, educate the community, and recommend solutions to policy makers in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
The Council will be diverse and representative of our community. It will consist of approximately 21 members that will represent private and public sectors impacted by the food system. Council members will serve terms ranging from one to three years.
In order to ensure certain key sectors of the food system are represented, approximately half the Council members will be appointed by local government, a local funding agency, and Greater Birmingham Community Food Partners. The remaining Council members will be selected through an open and fair application process.
