Program Description
FoodRoutes Network (FRN) provides local food marketing and communications tools, networking opportunities, and information resources to small farm and urban agriculture advocacy groups throughout the US working to rebuild sustainable local food systems. FRN provides tools, campaigns, and strategies to expand direct marketing channels available to small farmers, increase public demand for local, sustainably produced food, and strengthen regional economies. FRN's Buy Fresh, Buy Local (BFBL) campaign -- currently underway in fifteen states across the country -- is stimulating public awareness of, and demand for, local foods through coordinated promotional efforts. Campaign materials are adapted to national, regional and local uses, bringing consumers a consistent message and way to identify fresh, healthy, local food that spans from mass media to local farmers’ markets, community supported farms, restaurants and grocery stores. Across the country, the campaign is helping small, local family farms, processors, and independent retail markets in urban and rural areas to differentiate themselves and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
