GOAL

Develop a local food purchasing policy model for agencies and institutions.
Develop a local food purchasing policy.
A food economy encompasses all activities within the food system that generate revenue or economic benefit to residents of the county. One way we can strengthen our food economy is by increasing the demand and availability of locally produced food products through a local food purchasing policy.
