The GFA-Food + Ag Policy Working Group advocates for the redistribution of resources, opportunity and power back into the community, most notably, communities of color that, throughout history and today, are most impacted by the industrial food system.

Through story, data, education, mobilization, activation and community engagement, this GFA-Working Group organizes around the policies that uphold and demonstrate what a ‘transformed’ food system might and could be.

We need the Greenwich community to voice its values around a just and equitable food system and your voice matters. Please consider lending your voice in the following ways:

- Submit verbal or written testimony,
- Share your story and experience in an Op-Ed,
- Engage your Representatives,
- Attend a listening session or hearing
