Hello from the New Leaf Foods local food systems team,
NEW Food Forum.
NEW Food Forum
is a dedicated and engaged group of organizations, institutions, and businesses who want to see a shift in our community to support a resilient, sustainable and equitable local food system. The first project of the
NEW Food Forum
is the
Local Foods Mapping Project
.
You are receiving this email and request for participation because you and/or your business or organization is currently taking part in our local food system through any of the following ways:
... growing or distributing or processing local foods
... purchasing food from local growers
... using locally grown food to feed local people
... feeding local people who otherwise lack access to healthy foods
... educating on topics related to local foods
... or working in some other facet of the local foods supply chain!
The purpose of the
Local Foods Mapping Project
is to connect people and organizations who grow and make food locally with those who use, sell, need and want it, in our local economy.
This is an inclusive project so after participating, please share the survey link with other businesses and organizations whose work fits into the scope of northeast Wisconsin's local food system. If you are working on behalf of multiple entities in our local foods system, then please fill out individual surveys for each of the businesses or organizations.
