Description
We've all heard the farmers' cry: Buy Local, Eat Local! Now, we're asked to benefit the community's economy by taking it to the next step: The 100 Mile Diet. Is it feasible? Learn how to build your area's brand: there are key development opportunities and challenges in local food "value chains". Hear about best practices in food initiatives and what support roles CFDCs might play.
