Details for Policy Guide for Community and Regional Food Planning
PropertyValue
NamePolicy Guide for Community and Regional Food Planning
Description

 

Authored by the American Planning Association, this guide argues for a comprehensive food policy in local and regional planning. Food policy has often been overlooked by planners, assuming that food and food policy only indirectly affect the built environment. However, this recent document highlights the need to integrate local, regional, and sustainable food into any planning endeavors. Fitting into the paradigm of smart growth, these planners discuss the problems with industrial ag and outline seven policy guidelines to follow to implement and support local, sustainable food.
