Local Government Food System Survey
The term “food system” describes the interconnected systems involving all actors along the food value chain from food production to waste, that ultimately influence nutrition, health, community development, and agriculture. The Upper Coastal Plain, Kerr-Tar and Triangle J Councils of Governments are collaborating on a regional initiative to strengthen the region’s food system called Tri-COG Food Ecosystem Economic Development Strategy, or Tri-COG FEEDS. This survey’s intent is to understand the interest of local governments in supporting food system efforts and how the Councils of Governments can support local governments in this process.
