The Missoula City-County Food Policy Advisory Board (FPAB) was established in 2020 by a Joint City-County Resolution and is specifically charged with advising elected City and County officials in support of the following:

• healthy food access and nutrition
• sustainability of human and natural resources necessary for agriculture
• economic development of small and mid-sized food and farming businesses
• strong and vibrant local food systems

The Board is comprised of nine appointed volunteer members who represent a variety of key interests within the food system, including members with expertise in food access, health and nutrition, local food production, farm to school education, food system governance and analysis, and land use. Four of the members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, three by the Missoula City Council, one by the Missoula Mayor, and one by Community Food and Agriculture Coalition (CFAC). Additionally, a current member of the Missoula City Council and of the Board of County Commissioners sit on the Board as non-voting members.
