Bitterroot Valley - - Community Food Project (CFP) Coalition

Bitterroot Valley Food System          

Community Food Project (CFP)

In a nutshell, our mission is to have more of the food that is consumed in the valley produced in the valley. 

We are forming a Community Food Project Coalition.  Our task is to assess the current food systems in the valley and design a more sustainable, local food production and supply system that fosters the economic health of our communities and farms, the social and physical health of our citizens, and the environmental health of our valley.  
This is a project of Sustainable Living Systems (SLS), being funded by a USDA grant.  Coalition meeting notices and minutes are on the Events Page.

It is time for all communities, world-wide, to take charge of their own food systems.   "For each percent more (state wide) that we eat of Montana-produced foods, we add about $30 million to the state's economy." - - Bruce Smith, Extension agent for Dawson County.
