RACIAL EQUITY WITHIN THE FOOD SYSTEM RESOURCES
The South Carolina Food Policy Council has recently developed a Racial Equity within the Food System Committee to work towards dismantling inequities in the food system.

If you have resources that you would like to add, or if you would like to become engaged with the Racial Equity within the Food System Committee, please complete the form below.
