San Francisco’s Sustainable Food

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s food-policy plan is heading into a healthy direction and gaining wide support from local food producers. California food experts met to discuss ideas connecting the city with its “foodshed”—a 100- to 200-mile radius of farmland around San Francisco—in hopes of bringing healthy, sustainable meals from regional farmlands into the city instead of relying on imported goods. The program is meant to provide high-quality food to low-income residents normally dependent on government meals, but it sounds like a good idea for all of us.
