| Funding Amount: | $110,000 over 15 months |
| Funding Sources: | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and American Planning Association |
| Policy Outcome(s): | This food systems plan builds upon the city of Austin’s 30-year comprehensive plan by offering targeted priorities, strategies, and actions to address food systems-related challenges within the city. Unlike the broader comprehensive plan which utilizes city-level planning strategies, ‘Food for All’ offers planning strategies at a neighborhood-level in order for residents to participate in developing solutions and participating in change within their own communities. Residents reported four main challenges in the evaluation stage of the food system assessment: (i) access to appropriate information; (ii) availability of good quality, healthy foods in neighborhoods; (iii) accessibility due to lack of public transportation and dangerous neighborhood conditions; and (iv) affordability of healthy food. In response, the Austin Office of Sustainability and community partners developed a variety of policy recommendations, including providing information about food and food assistance programs in a variety of languages; monitoring healthy corner store initiatives to address challenges in retailer sourcing of fresh fruit and vegetables; requiring a food systems analysis for all new transportation projects; expanding transportation options for the elderly population; and advocating for higher city incomes, more affordable houses, and the implementation of community improvement projects, such as parks and recreation services. |

| Policy Outcome(s): | This pilot program, created in collaboration with the City of Buffalo and Massachusetts Avenue Project, seeks to improve recycling rates and allow the City to become cleaner and healthier through the creation of compost using food scraps which would serve as natural healthy fertilizer, and therefore can be useful for our community parks, gardens, and trees, instead of being sent to landfill. This program is viewed as a response to excessive food scrap waste in the city of Buffalo contaminating water streams and therefore negatively impacting the environment and surrounding land. The details of this pilot include further instruction as to food scraps that are considered acceptable for the program such as: vegetable & fruit scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, cut or dried flowers, nut & egg shells. Unacceptable materials include: meat, chicken, fish, greasy & oily food, dairy, animal waste, litter or bedding, coal or charcoal, coconuts, diseased or insect-infested houseplants, or biodegradable /compostable plastics. The accepted materials will be transferred courtesy of the City of Buffalo to the Buffalo River Compost. |
