"Building a robust local food system requires extensive consumer and producer training, education, resource development, and policy advocacy. With the support of diverse stakeholders, our membership, and grant-making entities, the Alliance strives to provide training and education opportunities across the state to producers, consumers and institutional purchasers; maintain effective marketing materials for the local food industry, raising consumer awareness of local food availability; assisting with local food infrastructure and equipment procurement through grant-writing and network development; and conducting critical primary research on the local food industry, instrumental to sound local food policy development. The Alliance staff routinely consults with local governmental entities, tribal interests, local farmers and ranchers, and health based organizations regarding local food systems and approaches."
