Harvard Law School has just released their second edition of Good Laws Good Food, a great resource and framework for local food councils who may be interested in developing their own guide, or to help identify and pursue food policy priorities.
It covers the general legal setting surrounding food policy, local food infrastructure, land use planning and regulation, urban agriculture, consumer access and demand, procurement, food waste and school food and nutrition education.
Even though it is in a U.S. context, there is still relevant information and tips for anyone working at the local level in food policy - and it would be great to develop something similar here in Aus!
