Farm to Plate Survey

Vermont Farm to Plate is asking for responses to a survey that will help inform the creation of a Vermont Food Security Plan.

The comprehensive Vermont Food Security Plan has been called for by the Legislature, the Farm to Plate Network, the Climate Council, and many others across the state. Its goal is to map out a way to make sure that all people in Vermont have access to the food that they need and want, now and in the future.

You can fill out the survey here.

For more information about their vision, visit the VT Farm to Plate website.
