Advisory Committee

The advisory committee will guide the direction of the work by identifying the questions we need answered to ensure we’re building a food system that nourishes people, places and communities. This group is composed of individuals and organizations working in multiple sectors and regions across North Carolina. The project team is committed to making this process evolutionary, meaning the advisory committee will grow and change throughout the project's lifespan.
