Sustainable food systems balance economic prosperity, environmental preservation, and public health while moving agricultural products from farmer to consumer.  As agricultural and consumer trends and desires change, food systems must adapt as well. Adapting this system in Lake County can help to foster support and capacity for small-scale, local, and/or organic agriculture that boosts the county's overall production and drives economic development in the agricultural sector.
