SLO Food Systems Coalition, Ellen Burke + Claire Tuohey-Mote, San Luis Obispo

Claire Tuohey-Mote and Ellen Burke are members of the San Luis Obispo County Food Systems Coalition, a community-based organization whose goal is to promote a sustainable, equitable, profitable, resilient, and health-promoting food system. From my perspective, the FSC brings all the players to the table to help everyone thrive: consumers, farmers, those who are food insecure, government, nonprofits and the community at large. They assess the strengths and weaknesses of the system and form work groups to address policy. I’m fascinated by how much Claire and Ellen know about our local food economy, and I think you will be too.
