Finalizing and Stewarding Washington State’s 25-Year Vision for a Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food System
The Washington State Food Systems Roundtable (FSRT) is a coalition of public and private partners representing state agencies, local food policy councils, agriculture, food enterprises, labor, anti-hunger and nutrition, economic development, academia, public health and others. Their mission is to produce a 25-year vision for a healthy, just and sustainable food system for Washington State. Since 2012, the FSRT has drafted an initial document, conducted extensive community ‘stakeholdering’ and created four topical work groups to revise the initial Prospectus based on feedback from the ‘stakeholdering’ process. The four work groups are: People, Environment, Economy, and Stewardship.
This project’s aim was to support the four topical work groups with making proposed revisions to the final document. This involved:
- Scheduling work group meetings.
- Tracking work group recommendations.
- Drafting revisions documents.
- Vetting revisions with the full Roundtable.
- Assisting the Stewardship work group with developing a plan for stewardship.
