Who We Are
The Advisory Council consists of individuals external to UC Berkeley who serve to advance BFI’s mission and programs through subject matter expertise, fundraising support, and strategic advising. They represent various areas within our food system — from food production and preparation to education and storytelling — and support our work within the context of the food movement beyond campus.
