Jacksonville State of The Food Plan Kick-Off

Join us for the Jacksonville State of the Food Plan Kick-Off

Date: Tuesday, January 20,2026

Time: 4:00–5:00 PM

Location: UF/IFAS Extension Duval County

The City of Jacksonville is developing a comprehensive Food Plan to strengthen and support our local food system. This kick-off event marks the beginning of a citywide planning process that will help shape how food is grown, processed, distributed, accessed, consumed, and recovered as Jacksonville continues to grow.

During this kick-off, we will:

• Share early findings and emerging themes from the State of the Food Plan
• Outline the Food Plan process and timeline
• Highlight upcoming community engagement opportunities, including workgroup sessions and public pop-up meetings

This effort builds on years of community-driven planning, data collection, and partnership across city departments, agricultural leaders, food system stakeholders, and residents.

The Food Plan will serve as a guiding framework to align policies, programs, and investments that support a resilient, equitable, and sustainable food system for Jacksonville.

We look forward to your participation as we launch this important initiative together.
