About the event

2025 SF Food Action Summit: Cultivating Just Food Futures
Join us for the 2nd Annual SF Food Action Summit where we will take bold steps toward SF's first long-term food system strategy!

About this Event

Event Description:

Over FAACTS’ history, we have always looked forward. With all the chaos trying to prevent us from joining forces to build collective power, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of a shared, positive, joyful vision of the future. Building upon the visionary work from our first summit, the 2nd Annual SF Food Action Summit: Cultivating Just Food Futures will unite San Francisco to transform how the City addresses food insecurity and take bold steps toward creating SF’s first long-term food system strategy.

The summit will bring together community leaders, farmers, advocates, policymakers, restaurant leaders, and more to turn ideas into action and shape a just, regenerative, and resilient food future for all! Be part of the movement to imagine and plan a food system that upholds food as a basic human right – ensuring that everyone has access to healthy, nutritious, affordable, and culturally relevant food at all times.

We encourage everyone to attend and, especially, farmers who labor for our city’s benefit, local producers and vendors, food service workers and their unions, restaurant leaders, healthcare, and grassroots leaders and organizations that feed our city’s diverse communities. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we come together as a city to ensure our basic rights are protected and that our food is valued as more than just a commodity.

About FAACTS

The Food and Agriculture Action Coalition Toward Sovereignty (FAACTS) was formed in 2022 when 30 local partner organizations identified the necessity of ensuring consistent and equitable access to high quality, local, fresh and culturally-inclusive food and nutrition services in San Francisco.

FAACTS Mission

Our mission is to build a just, sustainable, and holistic food system, ensuring we are neighborhood-based and coordinated across every district in San Francisco, with the goal of nourishing our community in a way that is sincere, healthy, empowering, specific, culturally relevant, humble, and abundant.

Welcome from FAACTS and Debut of their Good Food Manifesto

Info: Last summit, we focused on envisioning what a good food system in SF could look like. This year, we're taking bold steps toward creating an overdue, long-term food system strategy for the City. But what will help us stay the course? FAACTS' Good Food Manifesto is a culmination of the work we started at the first summit and the conversations we've had with community experts since. We hope this document helps illustrate what is possible for the City and provides opportunities for folks to plug in as we aim to transform the way SF addresses food insecurity and helps us value food as more than a commodity.
