Project Overview
Fill In Title
In Western Wisconsin there is a strong push to develop a more robust local/regional food system, for economic development as well as for environmental and health reasons.
The CVCERD has recently partnered with UW-EX Baron/Chippewa Counties on a very timely research project. A $10,000 grant was secured through UW-EX to conduct an applied local food research project. This project will document the degree to which local food is produced and consumed in Western Wisconsin. This research will also contribute to existing efforts aimed at increasing local food purchasing and consumption in the region and state. Overall, this project will provide basic data and information as well as analysis and outreach to support and tie together these efforts.
