Important Announcement: 2025 Pittsburgh Regional Food System Summit Cancellation

We regret to announce that the Pittsburgh Regional Food System Summit will not take place this year due to funding challenges at the national level. While this is a difficult decision, we want to assure you that the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council (PFPC) remains committed to bringing the summit back in some capacity in the future. We are actively exploring ways to restructure and reimagine the event to continue providing valuable connections, discussions, and resources for our regional food system.

We deeply appreciate the dedication and enthusiasm of our community—growers, eaters, advocates, and food system professionals—who have made the summit a powerful space for learning and collaboration. Your support fuels our work, and we look forward to sharing updates on our plans moving forward.

About the Summit

The Pittsburgh Regional Food System Summit is an event that brings together food system enthusiasts from all backgrounds to explore the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in local food systems. It aims to equip participants with new knowledge and valuable connections to support their work and strengthen their communities. The summit is organized by a dedicated 6-member planning committee that works to create an engaging and impactful experience for all attendees.

About the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council (PFPC)

The Pittsburgh Food Policy Council’s mission is to create a food system that benefits our communities, economy, and environment in ways that are just, equitable, and sustainable. Through community-led solutions, we work to reimagine our region’s food system, advocating for policies that support local food production, sustainable agriculture, equitable development, and increased access to healthy food, especially in low-income areas.

Looking Ahead

Although we won’t be gathering this year, PFPC remains dedicated to fostering dialogue, collaboration, and action toward a more just and sustainable food system. We encourage you to stay connected with us for updates on future events, initiatives, and opportunities to engage.
