Food System Coalition Members

The Spartanburg Food System Coalition was founded in 2015. In August of 2018 we held our first public meeting and shortly thereafter we received a USDA Local Food Promotion Program grant to develop a Greenville/Spartanburg Food System Assessment and Plan. In 2019, we formalized under PAL.
