In recent years, the City of Charlottesville has doubled down on its efforts to forge avenues for race and class equity in the areas of housing, education, economic development, climate change, policing, transportation, health, and food. In the area of food and health, the City Council passed the Food Equity Initiative for the first time in 2018 beginning a course of systemic efforts to reshape community health, wealth, and belonging through our food system. As the coalition driving the Food Equity Initiative, Cultivate Charlottesville Food Justice Network of 30+ organizations has been working in collaboration with community members, city departments, and city schools to further identify the policy and funding steps necessary to bring our collective vision of a healthy and just food system to fruition.

The Food Equity Initiative Policy Platform includes input from over 300 community members, 125 youth, and 10 city departments. The recommendations include strategic values, funding priorities, and concrete goals, policies, and practices for City Departments to deepen their capacity for food equity.
