10% BUY LOCAL CAMPAIGN
About how much food do you buy from local sources each week and from where? It's easy to track and set goals for local spending at the 10% campaign site.
NC State's Center for Environmental Farming Systems is tracking local food spending across the State.
If NC citizens all spent 10% of their food budget on local food, or about $1.05 per day, 3.5 billion dollars would be available in the NC economy.
