The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a plan on Nov. 7 to create an Office of Food Equity to address what they call a growing problem of food insecurity in the region.
The measure, authored by Supervisors Janice Hahn and Lindsey Horvath, will build on the county’s Food Equity Roundtable, created in 2021 to bring together food companies with private and public charity groups. The coalition was funded by the Annenberg, the California Community, and the Weingart foundations.
