San Francisco County:
San
Francisco Collaborative Food System Assessment 2005
This assessment came about through a community process led by
the San Francisco Food Alliance. The goal was to compile data
from various sources in one place along with spatial maps, providing
a resource to help drive food-related policy and decision-making
in the City and County of San Francisco. A working group composed
of members of the San Francisco Food Alliance developed a list
of food system indicators to track, drawing partially from the
"Food and Agriculture" chapter of the 1997 Sustainability Plan
for the city. Indicators focus on major areas such as government
and charitable food programs, urban agriculture, organic recycling,
and food retail. The majority of the data in the assessment
is secondary data collected from federal, state and local agencies
as well as from community-based organizations.
