Boston City Council Passes Landmark Food Justice Policy

BOSTON — Today, the Boston City Council unanimously voted to advance a precedent-setting Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP) for the city. The policy will transform the way public institutions purchase food by creating a more equitable system. Boston is the first East Coast city to adopt this as a city-wide municipal policy; to date seven GFPP policies have been adopted — from Los Angeles to Chicago to Cincinnati.
