Who We Are

Formed in 2005, CFAC works to develop and strengthen Missoula County's food system by promoting sustainable agriculture; building regional self-reliance; assuring all citizens equal access to healthy, affordable, and culturally-appropriate food.  

We seek to facilitate dialogue, education, and collaboration within the community, encouraging creative problem-solving and proactive policy advocacy.  CFAC is a multi-stakeholder coalition that addresses community needs related to food and agriculture in a comprehensive and creative way.  The dedicated involvement of citizens, public officials, and people with a range of interests, such as farmers and anti-hunger advocates, is essential to securing the health of our local food and farming system. 

The Missoula City Council and the Board of Missoula County Commissioners passed a joint resolution in spring 2005 to support the work of the CFAC.  Our aim is to work with the City and County to implement a comprehensive food policy for Missoula. View a copy of the resolution (PDF).
