Cook County (IL)

Team Profile Summary

Food justice is the policy reform focus for the Cook County Place Matters team. Our vision of food justice is of a food system where "nobody gets the leftovers" and everyone has equitable, easy access to quality, affordable, nutritious and varied foods. At the core of the Cook County effort is a belief that in order to reverse the effects of structural racism and injustice, low income communities of color need the capacity to set their own priorities that improve overall quality of life.
