Coordinator, Oakland Food Policy Council Oakland, California
The Oakland Food Policy Council (OFPC) is a 21-seat council created to analyze the Oakland food system from production through consumption and waste management, and recommend changes to make the system more equitable and sustainable. The council coordinates between food system sectors; bringing underserved populations to the food policy table and recommending policies for a healthier, more prosperous city.
Historically, no single body existed in Oakland dedicated to addressing the food system in its entirety. A 2006 report commissioned by the Oakland Mayor’s Office of Sustainability recommended the creation of a food policy council. After Oakland City Council provided start-up funding, a broad coalition worked to identify a home for the OFPC, which is now incubated at Food First.
The OFPC Coordinator manages the operation of the OFPC. The OFPC’s work currently centers on advocating for the group’s policy recommendations, summarized in “Transforming the Oakland Food System: A Plan for Action.” In promoting this vision, the OFPC hopes to help build a cohesive movement for food policy transformation in Oakland, and serve as a liaison between different actors in the Oakland food system.
