The City of Seattle envisions a just, sustainable, and resilient food system where:
- All Seattleites have enough to eat and have access to affordable, local, healthy, culturally appropriate food.
- It is easy to sell local and healthy food in Seattle.
- It is easy to grow food in Seattle, whether for personal use or for business purposes.
- The City provides sustainable ways to prevent and deal with food waste.
- Our community is educated about eating local and healthy food.
We hope you or a designated representative are able to attend one of three public meetings (listed below) the Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment is hosting to receive feedback on what the City should do next to meet these goals.
