Food Policy Council reposted this
The Food Policy Council of San Antonio met for their first quarterly meeting of 2024 at Midtown Meetup this evening. I was blown away with the strategic plan proposed for 2024 that will include increased policy work and awareness, land steward for farming opportunities within San Antonio city limits, the ever popular annual Chicken Coop & Gardens Tour, support of Healthy Corner Stores, continued stewardship of the Tamox Talom Food Forest at Padre Park, and much more. Congratulations to Food Policy President Jamie Gonzalez and Team for a fantastic meeting and mixer! It was awesome to hear about the Food Policy Councils two year collaboration with The Natural Capital Project at Stanford that ultimately recommended an expansion of urban farms and food forests throughout San Antonio at City Council. Rich conversation & discussion with those around the table this evening, many familiar faces that I know well, as well as several new faces that are clearly passionate about San Antonio’s food system. Thank you to Jamie Gonzalez-Stevens, Mitchell Hagney, Dave Terrazas, Raquel DeHoyos, Amina Thomas, Becca Hurliman, Stephen Lucke, Nadia Gaona, and many more!
