As a collaboration between UW-Green Bay faculty and local experts, the Center for Food in Community and Culture seeks to strengthen northeast Wisconsin's local food systems through education, resources and local events.
The Center encourages, develops, conducts and communicates work that:
A "locavore" is a person who eats food that's grown and produced in their local area whenever possible. Why is that important? It produces less waste because you're not eating packaged and/or shipped foods, and you support local farmers.
Support the well-being of the people of northeast Wisconsin with programs that educate consumers about healthy food; improve access to healthy food, particularly for underserved populations; and promote local family farms.
This is a network of individuals and organizations who advocate for affordable access to healthy locally grown food for ALL Wisconsin residents and sustainable farms of all sizes.
What better way to spend a Saturday than supporting local farmers and artisans? Find farmers markets throughout Wisconsin and access an easy way to become a locavore.
