CR-FAIR - Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable

......................................

Capital Region - Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable:

CR-FAIR, formed in 1997, is a coalition of organizations and individuals working to strengthen regional food security and our local food system, from farm gate to dinner plate. The Community Social Planning Council is the legal sponsor of CR-FAIR. CR-FAIR's mission is to increase knowledge of and bring about positive change in the food and agriculture system within the Capital Region.

This includes:

increasing the viability of farming
reducing hunger
increasing the supply, consumption and diversity of locally produced processed food
increasing our community’s knowledge and involvement with food and agriculture issues
