Local Food Futures Framework

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

The Coffs Coast Local Food Futures Alliance invites you to provide input into the Draft Local Food Futures Framework.
A copy of the framework is available for download here: Draft Framework (439KB).

The purpose of the Framework is to enable and support the development of a sustainable local food economy for our region.
The Framework has been developed through engaging with a wide range of stakeholders in our region and we want to continue this process by gaining feedback from you or your organisation as a whole of community approach is required to address the issues raised and capitalise on the opportunities available.

We are especially interested in identifying which projects or initiatives you think are a priority and in which you would be interested in assisting to become a reality.

We have created a short series of questions below which are to prompt you in responding to the Framework. Please respond to as many of the questions as you think are relevant. Contact details are optional, although we do need them if you are keen to be involved and help realise these initiatives.

PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR RESPONSE BY 23rd NOVEMBER 2009
