Lunch and Learn Issue Briefing: Food System Budget

In times of uncertainty, one thing remains constant—your voice matters. As constituents in a democratic society, we each hold the power to influence policy and promote the well-being of our communities. Now more than ever, civic engagement is not only a right but a responsibility. The Southcoast Food Policy Council (SFPC), a program of the Marion Institute, invites you to a powerful series of virtual legislative briefings designed to inform, inspire, and empower. These sessions focus on priority food system bills that address real challenges—focusing on key food system bills — tackling food insecurity, nutrition education, and equity in farming.

You will learn about the State Budget Process, the current political and economic climate, the Food System Budget priorities to fund, and an opportunity to instantly contact your legislators to support food system programs.
