2027 Biennial Food Security and Equity Report
Background
The purpose of the Biennial Food Security and Equity Report (BFSER) is to develop a method for the Department of Public Health to collect and analyze data related to food security and health equity. This data is collected from City departments and agencies and community-based organizations. The BFSER will use this data to identify populations in San Francisco that are food insecure and receiving City food-related services, whether the services address health, racial, geographic, age, or other inequities, and what barriers to food security exist. Two special community meetings will be held to review the Food Security Data Sets received from the Reporting Departments and develop recommendations for inclusion in the Biennial Report and shall assist DPH in preparation and presentation of the Biennial Report to the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor, as specified in subsection (h). The BFSER is set to be published by February 1, 2027.Biennial Food Security and Equity Report Ordinance
The ordinance for the BFSER was passed by the Board of Supervisors in 2021 and outlines the report requirements.
