EQUITY WITHIN THE SC FOOD SYSTEM RESOURCES
The South Carolina Food Policy Council has recently developed an Equity within the SC Food System Committee to work towards dismantling inequities in the food system.

If you have resources that you would like to add, or if you would like to become engaged with the Equity within the SC Food System Committee, please complete the form below.
