A group of Montgomery County residents wants to connect everyone in the county who cares about food — whether they buy it, sell it or grow it — and the county government is helping them do it. The county’s proposed Food Council would connect different parts of the county’s “food system,” said Bruce Adams, the director of the Montgomery County Office of Community Partnerships who has been organizing the group.

“The food system is so broad and touches so many things,” he said. The Food Council would connect immigrant workers with the residents of the county’s Agricultural Reserve and the people who are knowledgeable about healthy foods.
