Riverside Food Systems Alliance (RFSA) is a newly formed organization that is working to create a Farm to Fork food system that makes healthy, local foods available for all, while drawing on Riverside’s agricultural heritage. As a result of the the 2014 Grow Riverside Conference, the City of Riverside convened nearly 90 community stakeholders to draft a Food & Agriculture Action Plan, which was approved by Riverside City Council in May, 2015.

RFSA is currently being sponsored by the non-profit Community Partners, a tax-exempt organization. (Your sponsorship may be deductible as a charitable contribution. Please consult with your tax advisor.)
