FPAC stands for “Food Policy Advisory Council.” Councils like this one are growing in number around the country, and help bring together people who care about food access or work in related fields. Erie’s FPAC brings together entrepreneurs, educators, local policy makers and many others to identify areas of growth in our local food system. The FPAC also helps build collective support around food initiatives.
All are welcome to join the FPAC.
