Goal 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16

Create shared resources and tools that encourage entry into the local food economy.

A food economy encompasses all activities within the food system that generate revenue or economic benefit to residents of the county. One way we can strengthen our food economy is by creating an innovation hub to provide assistance and resources to new food enterprises and entrepreneurs.
