A key milestone outlined in the Kerr-Tar Regional Food Policy is the establishment of a Kerr-Tar Regional Food Council (KTRFC) with the purpose of guiding its implementation in the community. In May of 2024, the KTRFC met for the first time, bringing together 15 leaders from across the five Kerr-Tar counties. These members represent a range of interests across the food system, from production and processing to access and elected office.

As of October 2025 the Regional Food Council has grown to 18 Board Members and meets bi-monthly. Thanks to the generous support of the Triangle North Healthcare Foundation, the Food Partnership Project has enabled the council to continue convening partners, strengthen regional collaboration, and advance initiatives that improve access to healthy food across the region.
