Adopted by the Christchurch City Council in 2014, the Food Resilience Policy seeks to create a food resilient city that contains vibrant social, economic, and physical environments to provide healthy, affordable, and locally grown food for all residents. To do so, the policy outlines specific action priorities to achieve their food resiliency vision, including: becoming an active member of the Food Resilience Network; identifying and making use of community land for food production purposes; establishing food production in community institutions (i.e., churches, schools, etc.); protecting productive soils from development; supporting initiatives that increase the availability and affordability of fresh, health food; and supporting community education on food production, preparation, and consumption. Upon implementation, the Christchurch City Council expects outcomes to increase social and physical health and well-being of the community, bolster a local food economy, build food resilience, and increase practical knowledge of food and food systems.
