Agricultural Impacts on Rural Food Access in Vermont: A Situational Analysis and Ideas for the Future

摘要

This project examines how the state of Vermont is working toward increasing rural food access through agricultural practices. Four Vermont organizations or farms were interviewed to better understand the successes and challenges associated with increasing rural food access. Next, a situational analysis was conducted to determine the feasibility of a community farm that assists low-income and low-access Vermont residents to obtain healthy, local food.
