Community Food Systems

A community food systems is composed of four components: the producer, processing systems, avenues of distribution, and consumers. The greater degree that these components are localized or regionalized, the more resillent will be the rural community, the more sustainable will be the production system, and the more secure will be the food system. Our office is committed to programs that enhance a localized community food system that provides numerous marketing and distribution options for local producers and provides options for consumers to purchase local products and support local agriculture.
