NC 10% Campaign

The NC 10% Campaign is a statewide initiative of CEFS and NC Cooperative Extension that encourages individuals and businesses to spend 10% of their existing food dollars on locally-produced foods.

The Campaign aims to stimulate economic opportunities for North Carolina’s small and mid-scale family farmers and fisheries through:

  • web-based local foods search & data tracking dashboard
  • partner marketing & promotion through multi-media outlets & print materials
  • outreach & education via sector programming & community events
  • producer/buyer, consumer, & student networking

The NC 10% Campaign creates local food programming tools with county-based NC Cooperative Extension agents for all sectors of the Local Food System to encourage job creation and economic development potential as well as healthy eating and sustainable communities.

The NC 10% Campaign creates online and printed materials that Extension Agents and partners can use to promote local foods. Visit www.nc10percent.com/resources for downloadable resources.

Why 10%?

North Carolinians spend about $35 billion a year on food. If individuals spent 10% -- $1.05 per day -- locally, about $3.5 billion would be available in the local economy.
