Local Food Supply Survey

The Local Food Initiative Project is an initiative of a group of like-minded community organisations that have come together with the aim to build more resilient local food economies.

Extending from the South East Food Plan, the aim is to identify barriers to local food production and consumption in order to identify practical solutions for producers, retailers and consumers.

All information collected will be held in confidence and individuals will not be identified in collating survey information.

Survey results will be available online and at a public forum in mid 2014.

The project has been initiated by FuturePLANS (Palerang Local Action Network for Sustainability) and is supported by SCPA, Southern Harvest, SEE-Change, Permaculture eXchange and Canberra City Farm.

This survey is for local retailers of all types. We've tried to keep it short and to the point and it should only take a few minutes to complete.
