Salt Lake City Food Equity Recommendations for Future Success

Food inequity in Salt Lake City, especially affecting marginalized communities, is a pressing issue. To address this, the city should create multiple pathways for underserved individuals to access fresh, healthy food. This includes continuing the Resident Food Equity Advisor Program, establishing a food voucher program, and transforming neighborhood corner markets and food carts. The issue ties into broader concerns like land use planning, zoning, housing, transportation, and economic development. Additional recommendations include developing a comprehensive Food Equity Assessment and Action Plan, improving food equity communications, and increasing opportunities for residents to grow their own food.
