🎊 📰PSA: We’re starting a newsletter!!! 📰🎊 Introducing “Food Policy Debrief,” Food Systems Collaborative’s new monthly newsletter, in collaboration with the brilliant minds at Patelana Group. 🌟 💭 This newsletter started out of a shared frustration with Will Thomas and Lucy Shanker about how difficult it is to understand food policy, find ways to take action when you're not a policy expert, and keep up with how nonprofit and industry stakeholders engage in everything from appropriations to the Farm Bill. We wanted to find an easier way to stay up-to-date without having to piece together endless clips from coffee chats, webinars, and passing meetings. Above all else, we want food policy advocacy to be ACCESSIBLE and easy so that more advocates and companies would be encouraged and excited to engage with food policy. Every month the newsletter will include: 📌 Fresh News Bites: Stay up-to-date with quick and concise insights into the ever-evolving world of food policy. 📘 Policy Made Easy: Unpack complex policy matters and gain a clear understanding and roadmap -without the jargon. 🤝 Get Involved: Discover actionable steps for your organization to make a meaningful impact through advocacy and engagement.

🗣️More amazing questions by Plant-Based Councils Campaigners🗣️ These questions are such an important way of bringing the issue of transitioning to a plant-based food system into public conversation 🌱 If you want to bring this conversation to your local area, then get in touch through the form in the linktree in our bio 💚

📣 State food policy and advocacy just got a whole lot easier 📣 The Zero Food Waste Coalition, Divert, and the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic just launched the Food Waste Legislative Tracker. This new tool compiles pending legislation on food waste prevention, recovery, and recycling policies across all US states. 🌎 This tracker was created out of a shared frustration with the lack of transparency and the barriers that prevent people from engaging with local food policy. As someone who believes that food policy should be accessible and easy to navigate, I'm thrilled to see a tool that finally makes it possible for more people to get involved, find advocacy opportunities, and push for meaningful change at the local level. I've said it 1000 times, and I'll keep saying it - food policy should be easy to navigate and accessible to everyone. We need to remove the gatekeeping that often surrounds food policy - and this tracker is making that possible. Congratulations to Heather Latino, Holly Yanai and teams for putting together such a valuable resource! 👉 Dig into the resource here: https://lnkd.in/ewmsAisJ #foodpolicy #advocacy #foodwaste #foodlossandwaste #policy #foodsystems #foodrecovery
