Announcing a new report on Michigan’s food councils - what do they look like and what are they doing?

Data is now available from a survey of Michigan’s local food councils.

The MSU Center for Regional Food Systems is pleased to announce the report, Are Michigan’s Food Councils Changing Policy or Prepared to Do So?

Advocates for local food systems can discover opportunities to increase their impact by partnering with, learning from, or joining the work of Michigan’s food councils and the Michigan Local Food Council Network.

The report’s graphics and analysis give a snapshot of Michigan’s food councils’, including:

  • membership,
  • focus areas,
  • priorities,
  • activities,
  • achievements, and
  • capacity for policy advocacy.

Current Michigan food councils can explore others’ approaches and discover opportunities to collaborate with other councils.

Read and share the report with your networks!
