We aim to facilitate collaborations and the sharing of information, skills, and resources.
The Hartford Advisory Commission on Food Policy is working on the 2017 Annual Report, which includes policy recommendations for the City and Mayor. The HACFP is hosting a series of community meetings to gather feedback and concerns from residents about food issues, such as grocery stores and school meals, which are important to them.

The City of Hartford Advisory Commission on Food Policy hosts the Community Food Security Awards each year to raise awareness about community food security and to recognize individuals and organizations in Hartford that are working to improve nutrition, strengthen local food systems, reduce food insecurity, support sustainability, and empower communities to strengthen the food system.
