GOAL
16
Promote and incentivize the use of “best management practices” on farms, ranches, fisheries, and in food system businesses in Santa Barbara County.
Promote and incentivize best management practices for farms and food system businesses.
A foodshed is the geographic area spanning from where food is produced to where it is consumed – including the land it grows on, the route it travels, the markets it passes through, and the tables it ends up on. One way we can invest in our foodshed is through promoting and incentivizing of best management practices for farms and food system businesses.
