Our choices about food have a significant impact on our lives and health, our environment, our economy and future generations.  Food Matters in Sonoma County was established to support and educate our community and to address issues that affect us on a daily basis.  We hope that the information you discover from our website will be an inspiration to you to seek more knowledge, to get involved and to recognize that Food Does Matter!
