Eat Local NOLA

     Eat Local NOLA is a community-driven initiative managed by the New Orleans Food Policy Council (NOFPC) designed to celebrate, explore, and strengthen South Louisiana's regional food economy. 

​

      At its core, the program focuses on economic circulation, encouraging residents and visitors to intentionally buy from businesses that source directly from local farmers, fishers, and food artisans to keep dollars within the community.

The Urban Agriculture Program serves as a direct bridge between local growers and city government agencies to support urban farming and strengthen the local food system. Among its many initiatives, it offers technical assistance, facilitates the quarterly Urban Agriculture Working Group (UAWG), is collaborating to develop the city's first Food & Agriculture Plan, and working to create a land access program for growers.
