• A BRAND that identifies the Upper Minnesota River Valley region and its abundant supply of local, sustainable, healthy foods.
• A CAMPAIGN that helps people understand food systems and to make ethical and sustainable choices.
• A CHAPTER with partners representing the various sectors of a local food system, working together to promote healthful, sustainable and ethical food choices.
