When an institution adopts the Policy, it applies only to the adopting institution. For example, when the City of Los Angeles adopted the Good Food Purchasing Policy in 2012, it applied only to the City Departments that purchase food (including the Recreation & Parks Department, Department of Aging, Convention Center, etc.). Check out more details about the cities that have adopted the policy and have active campaigns on the Good Food Cities page. However, cities and counties that adopt Good Food Purchasing Policies often use their leadership to bring other local food purchasers into the Program, as a shared framework can help all purchasers in a region communicate and coordinate more effectively with suppliers and vendors about their values and the types of products they’re seeking.
