» Treasure Valley Food Coalition Releases New Report on Local Foods
June 09, 2010
Have you ever wondered how much of the food we grow in Idaho stays in Idaho? Or how much money we send out of the region for food from other states?
The Treasure Valley Food Coalition recently commissioned a report to look at questions like these. The study, completed by Ken Meter of Crossroads Research Center, includes lots of great information. For example, did you know that if families in the Treasure Valley purchased 15% of their food locally, that would produce $165 million of new farm income?
You can read the report here and learn more about local food issues by attending the City Club of Boise forum on July 20 (sign up at www.cityclubofboise.org).
