Abstract
In winter 2018, Capital Roots hosted four producer roundtable discussions as part of their Greater Capital Region Food System Assessment. Our project will analyze the survey responses from the 62 farmers and food producers who attended the roundtables with the goal of identifying barriers to business growth. The results will be categorized by county and will include quantitative data on markets, labor, regulations, and unutilized farmland.
