Abstract
Getting local food into the hands of consumers requires a variety of creative approaches. This project in northern Iowa demonstrated several ways to encourage marketing and sales of local food in the area.
Key Question
Is a CSA worksite program beneficial to increasing local food consumption?
Findings
The PI surveyed CSA worksite members. The survey concluded that many members have never participated in a CSA/food box program before, showing that his process exposed a new customer base to locally sourced food.
