Our project examines the economic opportunities, barriers, and gaps between local and non-local food distribution networks in order to pinpoint new market distribution opportunities within the Capital Region, with a focus on low-income areas.

Additionally, the study will highlight how food distribution networks help local communities embody the UN Global Goal of Responsible Production and Consumption.
