Delta Food Coalition

Delta Food Coalition (DFC) is a network of community groups working together to address food security issues in Delta.

Food Security
Food security looks at problems of food waste and inequitable distribution, nutrition, health and obesity, and poverty. Building a sustainable regional food system is an important goal in achieving long term food security.
To achieve food security, every member of a community must be able to make food choices that sustain personal health and well being and where our current consumption does not reduce our ability to meet the needs of future generations.
