10% BUY LOCAL CAMPAIGN
How much food do you buy from local sources each week and 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.
