Food Systems >> Community Food Security
Community food security (CFS) is said to exist when all people at all times have access to food that is affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate. According to the nationwide Community Food Security Coalition, the CFS movement seeks “to develop self-reliance among all communities in obtaining their food and to create a system of growing, manufacturing, processing, making available, and selling food that is regionally based and grounded in the principles of justice, democracy, and sustainability.”
