THE PLAN
The Roundtable published its comprehensive strategic action plan in December 2022, based on input from than 200 community-based organizations and 100-plus food system experts nationwide. The strategic plan includes clearly defined initiatives, milestones, and outcome-driven goals. It features a combination of initiatives that can be implemented in the short term while identifying policy changes to drive systematic improvement to address food insecurity among all in need.
IMPLEMENTATION
Momentum and civic support continue to grow for long-term solutions for chronic food insecurity in greater L.A., which harms nearly 1 in 4 County households. In 2023, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to use the strategic plan as its roadmap to improve food access for the County’s most vulnerable communities, and to establish a new office to advance it. Also in 2023, the Chief Sustainability Office launched the Food Equity Fund, a grant program administered by Community Partners aimed at supporting community implementation of goals in the Roundtable's Action Plan.
The LA County Office of Food Systems (OFS) launched in 2025, at which time the Roundtable sunsetted as outlined in a November 2025 Board Motion directing further integration of OFS into the County.
