Food Charters can play an important role in guiding what action and investments are made for and by a community.
A food charter is a resource that is created with the community to outline a shared vision for the local food system. The goal of a Food Charter is to guide action and investments that contribute to the needs and wants of the community in both the short-term and food future contexts.
Ways that a Food Charter can invest in a community can be:
- Food Systems Planning, such as food policies, initiatives, programs or economic developments
- Food Systems Advocacy, such as advocating for food access, sustainable food production, urban and rural food lands, and agricultural education/support
- Food System Education, such as making food knowledge accessible to the community or supporting school food literacy programs
- Community Engagement, such as creating opportunities for community participation and collaboration
- Food Celebration, such as social food gatherings, story telling, and cultural food programs
