Subject: CCC Release | Franklin County, Columbus Recognized with Statewide
Award for Local Food Planning
[city of columbus city council news release]
________________________________
Franklin County, Columbus Recognized with Statewide Award for Local Food
Planning
________________________________
The City of Columbus and Franklin County were presented with the statewide
award for their collective work in urban agriculture and increasing access to
local food. The Best Practices in Planning award is given annually by the Ohio
Chapter of the American Planning Association and honors outstanding planning
and planning leadership.
The association recognized the Columbus and Franklin County Local Food Action
Plan, the Green Business Urban Agriculture Plan and the joint food team
designed to implement the plans. The collaborative effort provides a framework
to unify residents, schools, community organizations, businesses and local
government in supporting a healthy, strong and resilient local food system.
Creation of the Local Food Action Plan was led by City Council President Pro
Tem Priscilla

and Franklin County Board of Commissioners President John O'Grady to address
some of the underlying social issues of poverty, underemployment and
unemployment that contribute to food inequality.
"As we approach the first anniversary of the creation of the Local Food Action
Plan, we are pleased to receive this recognition," said President Pro Tem
Tyson. "We created a multifaceted approach to collectively solve food
insecurity by talking to residents and major community stakeholders. The
success we have experienced thus far as a result of the plan is because of
community action."
Nearly one-in-five children in Columbus is food-insecure, and fewer than 25% of
adults in Franklin County report consuming the recommended servings of five or
more fruits and vegetables each day.
Access to high-quality, local food is good for all of our residents," said
Commissioner O'Grady. "And the local food system supports nearly 100,000 jobs
in our community. Unfortunately, many people, especially poor people, don't
have access to a healthy variety of food options. With this plan, we hope to be
able to begin to address this inequity."
The Ohio Chapter of the American Planning Association is an association of
professional planners committed to promoting and enhancing planning and the
quality of planning for all governmental entities in order to maintain and
improve the quality of life for all Ohioans. Its biannual Planning Awards
recognize the highest levels of achievement in planning.
"Buying local foods is a direct way to support the Central Ohio economy, and we
believe that the value created will be shared by all residents," said James
Schimmer, Franklin County's Director of Economic Development and Planning.
The City and County worked with a number of partners to create the plan,
including Local Matters, the City of Columbus Planning Division, the Mid-Ohio
Regional Planning Commission, Franklin County Economic Development and Planning
and Columbus Public Health. It received input on the plan from more than 1,000
local residents through interviews, surveys, and public meetings.
Highlights of the Local Food Action Plan include plans to:
* Improve how people access food, grow food, and prevent food waste
* Increase the availability and affordability of health and local food
while teaching people convenient and health ways to feed themselves and their
families
* Support a stronger market for local food businesses, creating jobs and
fostering community revitalization
* Bolster food waste prevention efforts and supporting strategies that
decrease the amount of food-related waste going to local landfills
