Our Local Food program facilitates the production, marketing, and consumption of food grown, caught, or raised in our community. We work to support local farmers with research-based education on marketing their products, help consumers access fresh, healthy local foods, and foster connections to build a better food network that encourages the economic and environmental benefits of eating local.
The objective of the Extension Local Food Program is to facilitate the production, marketing, and consumption of food grown, caught, and raised within North Carolina.
