Program Description
Farm to University (F2U) The NC 10% Campaign has worked with over 20 universities in the state to increase their local food procurement. To build your own F2U program, check out farm-to-university resources informed by two pilot programs: 1) The Local Food Ambassador (LFA) Program (2013-2019) provided paid student intern positions at six universities to engage the student body through events and media promotion, support local foods in alignment with the campus sustainability mission, connect university and community advocates, work with dining services to track local food, and build leadership skills in understanding community-based food systems. 2) The UFOODS project (2016-2018) researched supply chains links from farms to university campuses and developed new local food pathways at the six universities that partnered with the LFA Program. Resources include a Local Food Ambassador Manual, a Guide to University Food Systems & Local Food Programs, and a Farm to University Guide for Extension Agents. 
Farm to Senior Services (F2SS) F2SS is designed to increase local food procurement in county-based senior food services, increase farmer and food hub revenue, increase access to healthy, local foods for senior populations, and increase knowledge on benefits of and how to access local foods. To build your own F2SS program, check out our how to guide based on a 2020-2024 F2SS pilot in three North Carolina counties: McDowell, Scotland, and Warren.
Grower Buyer Connection Events Extension agents and community organizers can host Grower-Buyer Connections events, which are designed to connect individual growers to individual buyers in a respectful & efficient setting that can lead to a sales relationship. To plan your own Grower Buyer events, check out our guide based on previous collaborations between the NC 10% Campaign, NC Growing Together, and N.C. Cooperative Extension.
Local Food Map & Data Tracker Between 2010 and 2023, the NC 10% Campaign signed up consumers and businesses across North Carolina to take the 10% local food pledge and tracked local food spending. Over 8000 consumers and 1200 businesses, organizations, and institutions signed up for the NC 10% Campaign; and over $71 million dollars in local food spending was reported.
