Food Away from Home

The Trends Illustrate the Need

Consumer Behavior • Consumers are more savvy in using their money to make a public statement of activism and pursue “sustainable” consumption – Vermeir and Verbeke (2006), among others

• Farmers Markets role in enhancing “perceived consumer effectiveness” (PCE) – Extent to which the consumer believes that their personal efforts can contribute to the solution of a problem

Delicious

Safe Fresh

Convenient (Accessible, Easy to prepare)

Long lasting

Nutritious

Sustainably grown Supportive of local agriculture Supportive of local economy

Support for ag and local economy seems most important. Food miles does not seem to be driving locavores

A Community Approach • Translating what we know to the changing landscape of the Western Colorado region……

CSU Food Systems Mission Areas • Facilitators of Community Discussions around Food • Building Community through Building Farmers • Food Safety and Diverse Market Channels • Food Systems in Community and Economic Development Initiatives

Core Objective: Recruit, create, and retain food and ag businesses Key issues for creating and retaining food and ag businesses: Availability of land and water Transportation infrastructure Quality of life / Quality of workforce A business culture where “small is beautiful” (esp. for creating) Leveraging natural concentrations of regional specialization: Northern Colorado / South Platte River commodity crop and livestock San Luis Valley potato and grains cluster Western Slope / Tri-Valley fruit and vegetables Northern Front Range natural, organic, and local foods

A Scan of Colorado-CSU Linkages • Value-Based Market Development – Farm to School and Farm to Seniors – Value Chains and Food Hubs

• Technical Assistance and Partnerships – Colorado Farm to Market and Cottage Foods Project – Colorado MarketMaker

• Food Assessments to Inform Policy/Econ Dev. – Northern Colorado, Pueblo, La Plata, Chaffee, Denver, Routt Counties

Colorado Homestead Ranches • 5 ranches started selling freezer beef in 1997 • Product attributes: local, naturally grazed beef, no feedlot antibiotics or hormones • Now part of region’s Value Chain

•Engage more farmers and ranchers in selling to restaurants *Promote Montrose area as a great local food scene providing fresh Healthy options grounded in our strong agricultural heritage *Engage more restaurants in Serving locally Produced foods •Market participating restaurants as “Eat Local, Eat Healthy” options •Promote and market this effort via the OBT visitors center, • Leverage restaurant program with other agri-‐tourism activities
