OUR MISSION
To build a food system that honors the dignity, safety, and economic security of farmworkers and food system workers by supporting equitable policy solutions, expanding opportunity, and elevating worker voice across Florida.
• The Florida Food Policy Council works with local councils, worker advocates, and community partners to advance policies that protect farmworkers and strengthen labor equity across Florida’s food system.
• Farmworkers and food system workers benefit from stronger workplace protections, expanded access to healthcare and nutrition programs, and greater inclusion in policy discussions that affect their livelihoods.
• When labor standards improve, agricultural operations are more stable, supply chains are more reliable, and communities experience stronger economic resilience.
• FLFPC supports technical assistance, coordination, and strategic alignment to help local networks address labor challenges and build pathways toward long-term economic opportunity.
• Through collaboration with growers, worker organizations, and public agencies, we help ensure that food system investments reflect both productivity and fairness.
The Florida Food Policy Council strengthens food systems across the state by coordinating local councils, advancing equitable policy solutions, and supporting partnerships that improve food access, economic opportunity, and environmental resilience. We serve as a statewide connector between communities, producers, advocates, and decision-makers.
Our work supports farmers, farmworkers, food system workers, community leaders, local councils, and households across Florida. By strengthening policy coordination and expanding access to resources, we help communities build more stable, equitable, and resilient food systems.
We provide technical assistance, strategic guidance, and statewide coordination to help communities form and strengthen food policy councils. This includes governance support, policy alignment, training, peer learning opportunities, and connection to partners and funders.
FLFPC advances policy solutions related to food access and affordability, climate resilience, land and community governance, farmworker justice, and community-led decision-making. Our work centers equity, economic stability, and long-term system resilience.
We create pathways for community members, producers, and workers to participate in food system planning and policy conversations. Through convenings, listening sessions, partnerships, and network-building, we ensure that lived experience informs public strategy.
Communities can connect with us to request technical assistance, join the statewide network, collaborate on policy initiatives, or participate in convenings and working groups. We welcome partnerships that align with our mission to build a resilient and equitable food system in Florida.
