Regional Food System Collaborative

Valley Vision is convening a meeting of leaders involved in improving food access in the Sacramento region.

The six-county SACOG region has many different organizations and agencies working on issues related to the availability of fresh food throughout our community, especially for those who are underserved. The breadth of this project includes the local food system, from production to consumption. Stakeholders include representatives from the emergency food system, local growers, representatives from public health departments, WIC and food stamp agencies, agriculture commissioners, and nutrition education community-based organizations.

The meeting will take place on June 2, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., at Sierra Health Foundation, 1331 Garden Highway in Sacramento.
