Minneapolis Food Action Plan

Now known as the Minneapolis Food Vision, this is our strategic plan to guide our food systems work.

A roadmap for our food system 

The goal of the Minneapolis Food Vision is:
  • Develop a 2033 roadmap for Minneapolis food systems action
  • Build on previous efforts and plans
  • Align with Milan Urban Food Policy Pact
  • Incorporate data and community input 

The Minneapolis Food Vision process was paused due to the pandemic. 

The Minneapolis Food Vision will serve as an appendix to the City’s forthcoming Climate Equity Plan and a stand-alone framework with food systems goals, strategies, and measurable indicators for City of Minneapolis policy and investment and Food Council action.
