food policy

Agricultural system rules

Food policy is the set of decisions, laws, and regulations that govern how food is produced, distributed, and consumed.

It encompasses agricultural subsidies, nutrition standards, food safety requirements, and hunger prevention programs.

The city's food policy prioritizes local sourcing for school lunches.

Food policy debates often pit economic interests against public health goals.
