The resolution declares March 27, 2025, as "Good Food Policy Day" in Rhode Island, recognizing the annual celebration organized by the Rhode Island Food Policy Council (RIFPC). This day aims to highlight the significance of food advocacy and ensure that the voices of all food stakeholders are heard. It serves as a platform for raising awareness about critical food system issues and encourages direct dialogue between advocates and legislators regarding the RIFPC's agenda, which seeks to improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders.
Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the RIFPC's efforts to promote local food production, develop a just food economy, and ensure access to affordable and culturally relevant food for all residents. It supports legislative initiatives that benefit urban and small farms, healthy school meals, and businesses that donate surplus food. The resolution expresses gratitude to key members of the RIFPC Board and authorizes the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to the Board President, Diane Lynch.
