Description:
The DC Food Policy Council (FPC) advises the Food Policy Director, District agencies, the Mayor, and the DC Council on policies to strengthen DC's food system. Specific topic areas include: Food Access & Equity; Sustainable Supply Chain; Nutrition & Health; Urban Agriculture; and Entrepreneurship & Food Jobs.
The FPC public members have several main activities/roles:

Public members are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the DC Council. Public members serve terms of three (3) years and may be reappointed for up to two consecutive terms. Public members are not compensated for their participation on the FPC and may not use the FPC as a channel to market their own business/organization.
