Local Food and Agriculture Resource Guide
Local and regional food and agriculture initiatives are growing throughout New York State as communities identify creative ways to tap the rich community and economic development opportunities agriculture and the food industry provide. This publication highlights the depth and breadth of programs that engage faculty, staff, and students in local food and agriculture, including research, education, and outreach. You will find more than two dozen Cornell University-based programs which provide research-based information and student engagement on subjects related to local food production and processing, supply-chain development, and local food insecurity.
