California Homemade Food Act passes out of Health Committee!

[Esperanza Pallana]

We are pleased to announce the exciting news that the California Homemade Food Act AB1616, has passed the Assembly Health Committee! 

The OFPC unanimously supports AB1616 because it supports local, sustainable food production, and helps Oakland transition to a locally and regionally-based food system as well as fosters economic development in the food sector to create local ownership.
