Schools, universities, hospitals… cities’ new allies to change the food system
April 8, 2019
This article from Urban Food Futures gives a brief overview of the changes happening in our food system. Spoiler alert: high volume buyers make big differences in our food sourcing and eating. We would add the fabulous Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP)! We're a proud member of the Austin area GFPP team with the City of Austin Office of Sustainability, UT Austin, Austin ISD, Huston-Tillotson University and the Austin Convention Center.
Sue Beckwith (she/her) is the Executive Director of the Texas Center for Local Food (TCLF). TCLF collaborates with organizations across Texas and the U.S. to develop local food enterprises that support Texas sustainable agriculture and job creation. Sue is a former farmer, past president of Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and was the start up project manager for Jeremiah Cunningham's World’s Best Eggs, sold throughout Texas and for Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill, the first commercial certified organic feed mill in Texas.
