Reduce or • Is there a need for awareness & education? stop drinking sodas and other sweetened beverages. Protect family farms. Visit and Shop at your local farmers’ market.

One of the questions of the OCFA targeted where we shop. A large grocery store in our area was listed as the lowest ranked out of the five largest in our area. The results were obtained in the Fall of 2008, and by the Winter of that year that store had to close. Some were shocked that the store closed, but not everyone was. Responses to these questions will help us in establishing a network of local food producers and consumers. We intend to use the data to establish Food Security Policies. A key part of these policies is to require the purchasing of 10% of our food from local providers. Creating and expanding food processing infrastructure, establishment of community gardens, direct marketing, Community Supportive Agricultures (CSA’s) and the certification, inspection, & labeling of our local food. All of these areas will help us in our Food Security & Sovereignty. Watch for more RESULTS. www.kalihwisaks.com Education April 29, 2010 • Áhs^ ( ) 3B
