Abstract:

Ney discusses the advantages of buying food that is raised by local farmers. It is estimated the North Carolinians spend $35 billion per year on food purchases. If just 10 percent were spent locally, that would bring $3.5 billion into local economies and provide support to local farmers and provide jobs in the farming community.
