Food Policy Planning & Advocacy

Food Policy Planning & Advocacy: La Semilla facilitates the Mesilla Valley Food Policy Council (MVFPC), a coalition of government officials, nonprofit leaders, private business, and community representatives who collaborate to evaluate and improve our local food system while acting as a forum for food issues and a platform for coordinated action. The MVFPC’s mission is to improve the availability of safe, healthy, and sustainable food at reasonable prices for all residents and foster a link between food, health, and local economic development. On June 6, 2016, the Las Cruces City Council passed a resolution adopting The Las Cruces Urban Agriculture and Food Policy Plan, the first of its kind in New Mexico.
