Burlington Food Council


Mission:
The Burlington Food Council
is an open community group exploring ways to ensure that Burlington creates and nurtures a healthy, equitable and sustainable food system for all members of the community.

Approach:
To accomplish this mission the Burlington Food Council provides networking, partnership building, and educational opportunities around food issues, and provides strategic recommendations for decision makers.  The BFC also works to serve as a model and source of innovation for the many groups involved in creating and nurturing a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system for the City of Burlington.

 
BFC Goals
 
Goal 1: Build Food Knowledge and Experience for Burlington children, their families, the wider community, and BFC members.

Goal 2:
Build Local Food Appreciation and Access for Burlington children, their families and the wider community beyond the school day.

Goal 3:
Build Local Food Systems and Establish stronger links between food producers- including gardeners- and school age youth, their families and other community members.
