Producer and consumer perspectives on supporting and diversifying local food systems in central Iowa
Author: codnew
Iowa UrbanFEWS team published important findings regarding consumer and producer perspective on local food systems.
We examined producers’ willingness to include/increase cultivation of
local foods and consumers’ interest in purchasing/increasing local
foods. We used focus groups of producers (two groups of conventional
farmers, four local food producers) and consumers (three conventional
market participants, two locavores) to pose questions about
production/consumption of local foods.
