The Solano Local Food System Alliance meets four times a year, with a focus in 2022 on having public, educational speakers for each of the meetings.

November 3, 4-6 pm

Rural & Urban Land Use: Planning, Zoning & the Local Food System

Because planning and zoning have such a large effect on the local food system — and because many people don’t know the intricacies of how planning and zoning decisions are often made — the Solano Local Food System Alliance will be addressing that topic at its next public meeting. This educational event over Zoom features keynote speaker Dr. Catherine Brinkley, associate professor in Human Ecology, Community and Regional Development at UC Davis. Solano Land Trust and county-level and city-level planners will also join the panel to address how planning and zoning can affect rural and urban land use and support our local and regional food systems.
