Food Day
What is Food Day?
In 2025, the Los Angeles Food Policy Council will host an 15th annual Food Day celebration with food access advocates across Los Angeles and California. Food Day is a national initiative aiming to inspire Americans to change our food policies. Every October, thousands of events all around the country bring Americans together to celebrate and enjoy good food and to push for improved food policies.
Each year, as a part of our Food Day celebration, we invite each LA City Council District and LA County Supervisorial District office to nominate a Good Food Champion that aligns to the year’s theme. They select people, businesses, and/or organizations doing great work in creating positive change for their neighborhood.
We reside, work, and cultivate food
on unceded Indigenous homelands.
We acknowledge and honor the descendants of the Tongva, Kizh, and Gabrieleño peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles Basin and the Southern Channel Islands). We pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
As part of a greater foodshed, we would also like to pay respect to and honor the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, Kitanemuk, ʔíviĨuqaletem, Acjachemen, Payómkawichum, and any other tribal group possibly not mentioned. As a Food Policy Council for Los Angeles we recognize this land acknowledgment is limited and engagement is an ongoing process of learning and accountability.
