Purdue University – Food Councils

Food Councils are a vital part of a community food system. They enable community members to have input into policy and initiatives that affect the local food system.

Food: it’s what’s for dinner, but it’s also a powerful economic influence, a public health concern, a social issue, and an important partaker in many of the other systems that run modern life. For each of these systems, the way food is grown, handled, distributed, and sold affects different stakeholders and impacts daily life in unique ways.

Brown County Food and Farm Council – Strengthening our Food System

Seeking motivated and invested community members of Brown County who are passionate about improving the county’s food system. Our goal is to create a collaborative food council that will impact the Brown County food system so it can be more accessible to those in need and aid farmers so they can thrive and keep their produce local.
