Growing Food Connections Policy Database Launched The Growing Food Connections Policy Database is now live online, providing a searchable collection of local public policies that explicitly support community food systems. The database provides policymakers, government staff and others interested in food policy with concrete examples of local public policies that have been adopted to address a range of food systems issues: rural and urban food production, farmland protection, transfer of development rights, food aggregation and distribution infrastructure, local food purchasing and procurement, healthy food access, food policy councils, food policy coordination, food system metrics, tax reductions and exemptions for food infrastructure, and much more. Growing Food Connections works to build the capacity of local governments to improve community food systems to benefit small and mid-sized farmers and underserved community residents.
