Homegrown Minneapolis is a city-community partnership that brings together partners from local government, businesses, community organizations, and residents to promote more growing, processing, distributing, eating and composting of healthy, sustainable and locally grown food. The Homegrown Minneapolis Food Council sets annual policy priorities and forms working groups and task forces to support its goals. Recent working groups and task forces include land access, local food procurement and business development, healthy food access, farmers markets, and prevention of food waste. The Food Council has played an important role in passing city-wide policies and ordinances that promote local food production, such as easing the rules and fees for backyard beekeeping and chicken keeping, expanding opportunities for food carts and food trucks, increasing City land available for lease to community gardens and market gardens and increasing requirements for healthy food in licensed grocery stores through the Staple Food Ordinance. The City of Minneapolis recently signed onto the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact..
