What's in the Plan?
The Dallas 2035 Food Plan will be a roadmap to a better food system, developed for and by the residents of Dallas. As a document, it will capture the voices of communities around our region, allowing us all to rally around shared goals for our future of food. However, this work won’t begin and end with a document – we’re applying a Human-Centered Design approach to not only develop the goals to be met but also to creating paths to meeting them. By co-creating solutions with residents and taking an iterative prototyping approach to test and prove bold new ideas, the Food Plan is being developed with implementation and impact in mind from the start.
