Let’s Get Local!
Food Tank’s list of facts span a spectrum from the national to the global, including Chad, Chicago, Bosnia, Milwaukee, and Australia. Inspired by their having spread the word about worldwide innovations advancing the local good food and sustainability movements, we have decided to adapt their project on a local level. We believe this will be a valuable resource for food leaders in our community, developed by food leaders for our community, and an educational tool for all.
Let’s keep pushing ourselves, together, to improve our local food system! If you know of local projects, programs, initiatives, or the efforts of individuals, communities, and organizations that are improving the future of our food, we would love for you to contribute. Sustainability, security, quality, access, agricultural, nutritional, and environmental education–we welcome information of ALL kinds! Add your hopeful food fact(s) here.
