Here's some more info about CFJC:
The California Food and Justice Coalition (CFJC) promotes the basic human right to healthy food while advancing social, agricultural, environmental and economic justice. Through advocacy, organizing and education, we collaborate with community-based efforts to create a sustainable food supply for the residents of California. We envision a California food system in which all activities, from farm to table, are equitable, healthful, regenerative and community-driven. The Grow Local campaign works to rebuild local, sustainable food systems by empowering the grassroots to push for local-level policy change. We find that the benefits associated with local food systems are immense: strengthened local economies, improved access to healthy foods, reduced green house gas emissions, and increased access to green-collar jobs. Plus, as you will witness at the dinner, local, organic food just tastes better.
