Status of Implementation
The County works with the Food Policy Council and Valley Vision in supporting a Food Systems Assessment and Food Action Plan for the County.
Currently, Sacramento County Public Health supports the Food Policy Council in the preparation of the Sacramento Food Systems Assessment and Valley Vision has published the 2021 Sacramento Region Food System Action Plan.
Food Access was identified as one of the top priorities during the Community Health Assessment in 2023. In response, the Community Health Improvement Plan will focus on food access in Sacramento County and create five-year goals and objectives to improve food access for residents, particularly those residing in the lowest opportunity census tracts.
Sacramento County Department of Health Services (DHS) is the lead agency for the Edible Food Recovery Working Group (EFRWG), a collaborative effort between the County and six cities to meet the edible food recovery (EFR) requirements of SB 1383. DHS will contract with an EFR consultant to manage and administer the local EFR program, develop a capacity grant program, implement an annual work plan, and other program related tasks.
