The OFSR was created based on the recommendation of the Montgomery County COVID-19 Food Security Task Force and established by the County Council in July 2022 under Bill 20-22.
The Office of Food Systems Resilience (OFSR) develops and implements interagency budgetary, regulatory, and operational strategies to build a more equitable , efficient, resilient, and sustainable food system in Montgomery County. The Office defines resilience as the capability of individuals, communities, and the county to withstand and rapidly recover from food systems disruptions, stresses, and changes.
OFSR envisions a community where all residents can obtain healthy, nutritious, and culturally appropriate foods without fear of financial stress, and a local food system that is able to adapt when facing changes and disruptions.

Rising food costs and persistent rates of hunger across our county, a reduction in federal and private funding for food assistance programs, and deep systemic inequities and supply chain fragility that existed well before the pandemic, all require interagency strategies that maximize local dollars and leverage additional external funding to be better prepared for future crises.

Equity all efforts should address social justice and disparities to build equity in our community.
Systems-based strategies should focus on identifying and addressing the interconnections of food system priority areas, simultaneously considering relationships between and impacts on production, access, natural resources, education, and economy rather than on individual issue areas.
