The whole community is needed to contribute to the Food Story in Concord, so bring your ideas, work and projects to Thursday night’s discussion. Some of the questions we need to explore include: what to do to improve food and health awareness; how we can improve connections between local farmers and local buyers; can Concord better contribute to a regional food system; and can we leverage the data gathered about Concord’s food system to advance innovations in the food community? What questions do you want to ask and have answered?

The Concord Community Food Report Committee is a collaboration of people who live and/or work in Concord who are interested in food — everything from what food we like to how we procure, prepare, produce, and distribute it. All sectors of the community are represented: citizen groups, non-profit organizations, local businesses, schools, farmers, and government.
