Sustaining local food systems in a globalizing environment: Regional project NE-1012

This is a 5-year project involving researchers from 15 states who are interested in the development of local/regional food systems. Wisconsin work has focused on specialty cheese, pastured poultry, and the sourcing of locally grown food by public schools. An edited book, The Remaking of the American Food System, is the product of the first five years of the project. One chapter will apply the French “red label” poultry system to emerging alternative poultry enterprises in the US. For more information, contact Steve Stevenson.
