> Hello everyone,
> I am one of several people who are creating a sustainable food system
> group here in Burlington, VT. We are thinking of working on a food
> policy for Burlington as our first foray into action, so I am trying to
> put together a comprehensive list of other cities, counties, and states
> that have come up with similar policies. Computer databases such as
> Worldcat and Agricola have been of minimal help so I thought I would tap
> into the great pool of knowledge that exists on Sanet! If you know of
> food policies other than the ones I know of so far please let me know and
> I'll be happy to post the final cumulative list.
>
> this is what I have so far:
> Knoxville, TN
> Minneapolis, MN
> St. Paul, MN
> Philadelphia, PA
> Charleston, SC
> Kansas City, MO
> Hartford, CT
> Onondaga county, NY
> New York State
> Quebec, Canada
>
> Thank you very much.
