Office of Food Initiatives
The Mayor's Office of Food Initiatives was established in June 2010 to engage the Boston Food Council, partners, and City departments to address directives set forward by Mayor Menino.
Directives
Increase access to healthy and affordable food in schools, farmers markets, and stores, educate the public about healthy choices, and promote food benefits to reduce hunger and obesity,
Expand Boston’s capacity to produce, distribute and consume local food through urban agriculture and distribution models to supply schools and local businesses,
Build a strong local food economy through financing and supporting local food retail and distribution businesses, and
Expand private and public partnerships to advance the food agenda.
