Feeding Kansas: Statewide Farm & Food System Assessment with a Plan for Public Action
Feeding Kansas was produced by the Kansas Rural Center through its three year “Community Food Solutions” initiative which seeks to advance the capacity of Kansas farms to feed Kansas people, thereby potentially improving Kansas’s economy, community, environment, and health status.
The report calls for the advancement of a “farm-to-fork” food system that better incorporates Kansas farms into the supply chain that provides healthful foods to Kansans. The report and its seven recommendations for action and policy change are the product of more than a year spent engaging hundreds of individuals across Kansas in dialogue about current opportunities and barriers in the farm-to-fork food system, with a goal of making healthful foods the routine, easy choice for all Kansans.
