The Chicago Food Policy Action Council (CFPAC) operates within the public policy sector to influence the development of policies that improve access to culturally appropriate, nutritionally sound, and affordable food produced through environmentally sustainable methods for residents of Chicago. Its work focuses on policy adoption and implementation, notably promoting the Good Food Purchasing Policy across the City of Chicago, its sister agencies, and Cook County, with an eye toward expanding opportunities for smaller, local, sustainable, humane, and fair producers and processors. The organization also seeks to improve access to urban land for farming and to update regulations and licenses relevant to urban agriculture. Based in Chicago, Illinois, CFPAC resides in the public policy and food justice landscape, aiming to connect policy with practical improvements in local food systems. Recent activity includes planning and participation around the Chicago Food Justice Summit, reflecting ongoing engagement with community stakeholders and policymakers to advance its objectives.
