Sustainability Objective:
Support a locally-based, environmentally responsible and healthy food system that is available to all residents.
Longmont has a long history in food production and agriculture with many families stewarding the land for several generations. A sustainable food system is a vital component of a thriving community as it provides healthy food for community residents, viable jobs for producers, and utilizes agricultural techniques that protect and restore our natural resources.
How We Achieve Our Sustainability Objective:
- Identify barriers and opportunities for local food production
- Encourage and support the Boulder County Resource Conservation Board in pursuing carbon sequestration studies
- Expand connections between local food producers and areas/populations in need
- Support and expand Garden to Cafeteria program opportunities
- Support the establishment of community food processing and storage facilities in partnership with Boulder County
- Encourage and support agricultural research in Boulder County
