Community Guide: GROWING LOCAL Now Available

Growing Food Connections has partnered with the American Farmland Trust in developing and publishing the Community Guide to Planning for Agriculture and Food Systems. The guide, titled GROWING LOCAL, is a result of the research and findings collected from the GFC project. It is intended for farmers, municipal and county officials, agricultural organizations, local food policy councils, county health agencies, planning commissions, and citizens’ groups concerned about sustaining healthy farms and assuring universal access to healthy food.
