North Carolina Policies

North Carolina Food Policy Council
The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and the Consumer Services Commissioner formed the North Carolina Food Policy Council in August 2001. The North Carolina Food Policy Council (NCFPC) works to define and meet the needs of the hungry while seeking more opportunities for the state's small farmers. Members of the NCFPC include representatives from agriculture, private industry, hunger relief agencies, the legislature, farmers, and a number of state government agencies. The Farm to School Program is one of the four main projects that the NCFPC works on.
