NC Local Farms and Food Profiles
To provide a snapshot of the importance of agriculture on the county level, the N.C. Cooperative Extension Local Food Program, NC FarmLink, and the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) created a profile for each county and each Council of Government region based on a comparison of 2022 and 2017 USDA Agriculture Census data. The data is organized in panels to make it easy to pull screenshots for presentations and conversations.
This Local Farms and Food Profile helps economic developers, planners, local food advocates, and community members understand the impact of their county and region to the overall NC agricultural economic impact.
