The 2024 Rogue Valley Community Food Assessment is underway!
We, along with many community partners, are collecting and evaluating information to identify current assets and gaps in the food system, with a focus on food access, food as medicine, community outreach, education, market and production growth, and climate resilient farming.
This assessment will inform a food action plan, contributing to economic and infrastructural improvements for the region over the next ten years.
If you eat, grow, buy or sell food in the Rogue Valley, we’re looking for your input!
Your anonymous answers to this 10-15 minute survey will help shape the Rogue Valley Food Action Plan and the future of food and agriculture in the region over the next ten years and beyond.

ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOOD ASSESSMENT
Jackson and Josephine counties completed their last community food assessments respectively in 2013 and 2012. While significant progress has been made to strengthen the local food system, the region has also seen dramatic shifts to its environment, local food systems, demographics, and stakeholder organizations since the last assessments. The Steering Committee has been meeting for the last two years doing the groundwork of seeking funding, building relationships and aggregating currently known information and data.
