Civil Eats is an online news platform that provides in-depth analysis of the American food system, with coverage spanning sustainable farming, food justice, and agricultural policy. Drawing on a network of more than 100 contributors, the site brings voices from Capitol Hill to Main Street into its reporting and commentary. Founded in January 2009 and based in California, Civil Eats operates with a modest team focused on informing debate and understanding around food system issues. The outlet has received industry recognition, including the James Beard Foundation Publication of the Year award in 2014. In April 2025 it launched the Food Policy Tracker, a new feature that tracks policy developments relevant to the U.S. food system.
