An economically and environmentally sustainable vision for the future
Did you know that less than 5% of food consumed in our communities is produced locally? Ten Rivers Food Web works across the central coast and mid-Willamette regions of Oregon to nourish locally-based regional food production and consumption. We work towards equal access for all people to locally produced, nourishing, affordable and culturally diverse foods on a non-emergency basis. TRFW is a group of local food producers and consumers committed to making our region robust in the face of ecological and economic pressures. Towards these ends, we specialize in the following three areas:
Additionally we focus on creating and disseminating reports and assessments in conjunction with community partners and Oregon State University students that shed light on the current realities of our locally-based regional food systems.
- Quality nutrition for humans, animals, plants, and soil
- Innovative food distribution programs
- Protection of food production land
