COVID-19 Issue Brief | Policy Action & Funding for Our Food System

After spending the past few weeks connecting with our local community to better understand the impacts of COVID-19 on our food system, it is clear that political action and financing are urgently needed to support those who are most impacted.

The Alliance has published two new resources focused on policy and funding recommendations.

Issue Brief: COVID-19 and Our Food System
Immediate Impacts and Priority Recommendations for Policymakers and Funders

Please read and share this issue brief with your network. While the brief focuses on recommended policy and funding priorities, it also includes a summary of impacts, statistics, and short stories that shine a light on the implications of the pandemic and how it has affected the daily lives of people in our community.

Please also visit this new section of our website that highlights the Alliance's policy priorities in support of food system needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and tracks petitions and bills we are endorsing at the local, state, and federal level.

We hope these resources are helpful and can serve to meet the needs of our community.

Thank you all for the work you do—especially our front line workers—to ensure that all are fed and cared for during this time.
