About TFPC

Toronto is a municipal food policy leader, with a long history working to ensure access to healthy, affordable, sustainable and culturally acceptable food. The Toronto Food Policy Council (TFPC) was established in 1991 as a subcommittee of the Board of Health to advise the City of Toronto on food policy issues. The TFPC connects diverse people from the food, farming and community sector to develop innovative policies and projects that support a health-focused food system, and provides a forum for action across the food system. TFPC members identify emerging food issues that will impact Torontonians, promote food system innovation, and facilitate food policy development. The TFPC’s Terms of Reference can be found on our City of Toronto webpage.

Over the past two decades the TFPC has made significant contributions to a broad range of food policy initiatives.

Today, the Toronto Food Policy Council’s views, experiences and publications are followed internationally.
