NNY Local Foods efforts get Statewide Exposure!
Posted in Uncategorized on November 12, 2010 |
The local food efforts in NNY are well known in this area. And with the Regional Local Foods Initiative we have been able to showcase the tremendous efforts that we have taking place from the Champlain Valley to the Thousand Islands. The efforts here are being highlighted on Cornell Cooperative Extension’s statewide website. In the cover article on the website where “Buying Local is a Hot Topic”. Below is a beginning excerpt from that article.
Knowing where food is coming from is on many consumers’ minds these days. Food safety is one reason, but buying local also supports local agriculture which in turn, is good for the local economy.
It’s easy to buy local at farmers’ markets, farm stands, u-pick farms, community supported agriculture (CSA), restaurants with a local foods menu, and look for Pride of NY labeled foods in stores.
Cornell Cooperative Extension plays a major role in fostering local food efforts in all regions of New York State through education, research, and marketing and technical assistance. To read the whole article visit: www.cce.cornell.edu.
