Local Food and Farm Council opens survey as development continues toward Master Food Plan

The Food and Farm Council of Riley County and the City of Manhattan are asking residents to “take 10” during the month of September.

In an effort to develop a Master Food Plan for the area, an online survey is circulating the community which asks some questions about the current local food system. Council Coordinator Vickie James says all it takes is 10 minutes.

James says once the council collects responses from community members, the next step is creating that long-range plan.

The survey asks questions about where people commonly get their food, what barriers they face, and how often food is wasted in homes. She says the idea is to create a living document that creates a pathway to healthier communities.

The survey is available in English, Spanish or Mandarin, by going to the QR code below. It is also available at NourishTogether.org.
